k
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=36
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3 times=24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=24

OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, is {{y{{ 24?
hartnn (hartnn):
question unclear :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 y = 2 x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k

ehh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for any number x, #x=2/3x squared
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=2/3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Which of the following is an expression for #y in terms of x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3x cubed

What is the #x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
good question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let us say that x=36

OpenStudy (anonymous):
plug in 36 for 2/3x squared
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3 times 1,296
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
#x=864
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let us do the same for y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3 times 36=24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
#y=24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
#x=864

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so that means #y = 2/3y^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, which of the following is an expression for #y in terms of x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you substitute in y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which is 2/3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3*(2/3x)^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8/27x^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well, they want you to find 24 in terms of x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=36
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, essentially, which equation gives us 24, #y

I thought i answered the question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Somebody verify for me because i am getting confuse.. lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ill come back
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well

the answer is D.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
D equals 384, not 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
unless

OpenStudy (anonymous):
you plug in #y for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sp
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3 times 24 squared
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3 times 576

OpenStudy (anonymous):
384
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8/27 x squared=384
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you plug in #y for x in the first equation, and you then see which equation
listed equals your result
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am I right?
