Y = kx
4.8 = 4k
k = 4.8/4 = 1.2
Therefore, required equation = y = 1.2x
Answer:
A. 4·10⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells you ...
6×10⁵ miles = 15 × (last year's mileage)
Dividing by 15 gives ...
(60×10⁴ miles)/15 = (last year's mileage) = 4×10⁴ miles
_____
<em>Further explanation</em>
An exponent is an indication of repeated multiplication.
10⁵ = 10·10·10·10·10 = 100,000
We can use the associative property of multiplication to rewrite the number of miles:
6×10⁵ = 6·(10·10·10·10·10) = 600,000 = (6·10)·(10·10·10·10) = 60×10⁴
Simplifying a fraction means most likely having it remain as a fraction and not a whole number and it can be converted as a decimal.
on the other hand, simplifying a radical, you would have no remainders, fractions, or decimals after simplifying.
thats the difference.
