Answer: Yes

Tc = 3.12m

Therefore, total cost of apple is directly proportional to the total mass with a proportionality constant of 3.12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the apples is proportional to the total mass. The product of the mass and the cost per mass ($3.12) gives the total cost.

It can be shown using the equation below

Tc = c×m

Where Tc = total cost

c = cost per unit mass

m = total mass in kilogram

Tc = 3.12m

Therefore, total cost of apple is directly proportional to the total mass with a proportionality constant of 3.12.

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the price of apple per kilogram.

Hence, price of total apples is equal to the product of number of apples and price per kilogram of apple.

Question 7 of 10 What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1 = 10 and r = 1/5?

enot [183]

Answer:

12.496

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Sum}=\frac{a*(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\text{Here a=10, r=1/5, plugging them in the above formula we get}\\\text{Sum}=\frac{10*(1-(1/5)^5)}{1-(1/5)}\\\text{Sum}=\frac{1562}{125}=12.496$

A rectangular garden is 6 feet longer than its wide. The perimeter of it is 52 feet. What equation can be used to find the width

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is;

the equation

(w+6)+(w+6)+(w)+(w) = 52

The width of this rectangle is 10. The length of this rectangle is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular perimeter:

l+l+w+w

l= w+6

w= w

(w+6)+(w+6)+(w)+(w)

4w+12= 52

4w = 40

w= 10

Hope this helps!

Use the Quadratic formula to find all real zeros of the 2nd degree polynomial

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

x ∈ {-5, -1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the solution using the quadratic formula:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{24^2-4\cdot 4\cdot 20}}{2\cdot 4}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{576-320}}{8}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{256}}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm 16}{8}=-3\pm 2=\{-5,-1\}$

The real zeros are -5 and -1.

_____

There are many ways to check your answer. One of them is to look at the given quadratic, which has no changes of sign in its coefficients. (They are all positive.) That means there can be no positive real roots, so already you know that x=0.5 won't work.

Also, the constant in the quadratic is the product of the roots, For your roots, their product is -7/4, so even multiplying by 4 (the leading coefficient in the given quadratic), you don't get anything like 20.
