Answer:

  a. f = 17.5/c

  b. 8.75 N

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

Inverse variation means one variable is proportional to the inverse of the other. The equation for that is ...

  f = k(1/c) . . . . . . force (f) is proportional to the inverse of distance (c)

We find the value of k using data given for a specific instance.

  3.5 N = k(1/(5 cm)) . . . . use the given values

  17.5 N·cm = k . . . . . . multiply by the denominator

Then the equation of interest is ...

  f = 17.5/c . . . . . . . where c is in cm, and f is in newtons

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

Using the above equation, we find the force to be ...

  f = 17.5/2 = 8.75 . . . . newtons

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

We often look at several different kinds of proportionality:

  • y = kx . . . . direct
  • y = k(1/x) . . . . inverse
  • y = kx² . . . . proportional as the square
  • y = kx·z . . . . jointly proportional to x and z

and there are combinations of these, such as ...

  • y = kr²h . . . . jointly proportional to h and the square of r

You may have noticed that when x and y are inversely proportional, their product is a constant. y = k/x  ⇒  xy = k

__

We have left off the units of k in the problem above. Sometimes it is a good idea to retain them, or to pay close attention to what they are. This can avoid using the wrong measures for the variables.

  f = (17.5 N·cm)/(2 cm) = 8.75 N . . . . . units of cm cancel

What is (f . g) (x)?
sergeinik [125]
I think you’re answer is option 1: 3x^2+5.

Explanation:

Evaluate f(x^2+2) by substituting in the value of g into f.
f(x^2+2)=3(x^2+2)-1

Then apply distributive property.
f(x^2+2)=3x^2+3•2-1

Then multiply 3 by 2.
f(x^2+2)=3x^2+6-1

Then subtract 1 from 6.
f(x^2+2)=3x^2+5

Which graph represents the following piecewise defined function?
kenny6666 [7]
The correct answer is shown in attached figure
To find the correct graph, we should study the continuity of the function

Check the continuity at x = -2
from the left ⇒⇒ f(-2) = 1/2 * -2 + 3 = 2
from the right ⇒⇒ f(-2) = 2
∴ The function is continuous at x = -2

Check the continuity at x = 3
from the left ⇒⇒ f(3) = 2
from the right ⇒⇒ f(3) = 2*3 - 3 = 3
∴ The function is jump discontinuous at x = 3


From the previous results the correct graph is the last as shown in attached graph.

1) There is a jar containing 100 marbles: 40 of the marbles are red, 30 are blue, 20 are white, and 10 are black. You are blindf
Ainat [17]
A. The probability that you would select a black marble is 10/100. Which is also 1/10.
B. It would be 10/60. Which is 1/6.

For the first you count how many black marbles are in the jar total? There is 10. Which means 10/100.

For the second the red marbles doesn’t count so now we have only 60 marbles in the jar. 10 of those marbles are still black.
