State sales tax S S is directly proportional to retail price p p . An item that sells for 142 142 dollars has a sales tax of 12.32 12.32 dollars. Find a mathematical model that gives the amount of sales tax S S in terms of the retail price p p .

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for direct proportion:

y=kx

, where x= independent variable ,

y=dependent variable.

k= proportionality constant

Here, State sales tax S  is directly proportional to retail price p.

Also, dependent variable= S,  independent variable =p

Required equation: S= kp

Put S= 12.32 and x= 142

Hence, the required equation is .

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
