How is "constant of variation" used in everyday life?
612525
We can have a simple linear function such as F(X)= X times a Constant C. This type of function is used everyday when we convert "one thing" to "another". One currency to another (i.e. exchange rate); metric and a myriad of other conversions. How about taxes like the sales tax. You pay so much per gallon of gas; so much per unit of power used for electricity etc.\nHowever we can also have a function F(X1,X2,X3...Xn)= C which can be quite complicated and which is a function of many inputs X1,X2,X3....Xn. Such a function could be used in computer modelling for weather and economic forecasts, navigation, traffic control etc. hope that helps somewhat

The speed of light varies depending on the medium it is passing through. The optical density of the material it is passing through is used to find the speed of light through the material. \n\nWhere c is a constant is in a vacuum. If that is what you are referring to, I have no idea.

Quick way to solve regular reoccurring problems.\n\nDoes not work for non-standard problems (those that do not follow the system).

(constant)/(2^n) when n->infinity => the limit is 0(zero)\n\nPS\nNot to be a a stickler for rules but is this really laptop related ? :))

continuous means it is constantly being compounded.\nThe "normal compounding" has to be specified.\nFor example, you would have to say it is compounded monthly, weekly, daily, etc.

If you assume it's normal, then yeah, although I assume there is more data than you have given as you do not have the variance there, although you could treat this as a binomial distribution giving it mean 0.3, variance n0.3*0.7, although when calculating the confience interval you'll want to divide by n^2 for that variance.

Habit.  NOthing else.  You can change it if you try.

it can be defined in many ways .simple way is...\nthe variation in  life in various ecosystem.

Yes it is it is used in so many constants and in so many formuli everything revolves around time. Even though it is not  their to be seen it cotrols our lives in such a big way.

The gravitational constant is constant by definition and is independent of all other physical values however there is some evidence to suggest that it is not a universal constant and indeed it's value may change over time.

As for me I think all is persuasive. If you start to count temperature from the point when its length = 50cm you better write: L=50*e^(kt) cm. \nNow (iii): the constant k is valid to be unchangeable in rather narrow range of temperatures, in real physics k depends on t. And after melting the whole business does not work at all. On the other hand the function L=50*e^(kt) says that if t<<0 L is expected to shrink to 0, ignoring the fact that t cant be lower than absolute 0.

With the system proccess you mean in software development?\n \nReusability - your programs - elements- must be reusable in other contexts.\n\nConsistency - Your programs should be consistent, Data consistent means no mather where you see or use the data, the data most be the same. Consistency on the interfase, means that all the screens the user will see must have an standard.

To find the constant of variation get y by itself by dividing both sides of the equation by the number in front of y.  This gives\n\ny = 13/5 x\n\nThe number in front of x will be the constant of variation (13/5).

Constant and uniform are generally used interchangeably.  \n\nConstant velocity means two things: constant speed and constant direction.  \n\nConstant speed means just a nonchanging speed.  You can be going in a circle with a constant speed, but your velocity is not constant because you are constantly changing directions.

Natural magnetic variations and decay.  It is like waves of variation.

It's arbitrary.\n\nWe are used to "x" and "y" (and perhaps "z") being used as the variables, but we also need to have a representation of constants. Using a specific number would make it seem as though only that number works in the equation.
