Hello I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this math question. I’m so confused

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

Solve the inequality y^2-3y greater than 18 sorry couldn't find the greater than sign
kupik [55]

Answer:

y > 6 or y < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y² - 3y > 18

Complete the square.

y² - 3y + 9/4 > 18 + 9/4

y² - 3y + 9/4 > 81/4

(y - 3/2)² > 81/4

y - 3/2 > 9/2, or y - 3/2 < -9/2

y > 6 or y < -3

For the annual rate of change of +70%, find the corresponding growth or Decay Factor.
omeli [17]
Hello there!
1. Okay. So 70% is positive, so it is a corresponding growth. 70% is 0.7 in decimal form. C and D are both eliminated, because that's too large. When something grows by 70%, that is less than double. 0.7 is not right either, because that's more of a decay than a growth. The only answer that makes sense id 1.70, because you are going up, and adding 1 to decimal form brings you to the decimal that when multiplied will bring you to the total. The answer is B: 1.70.

2. So, -75% is negative, so it is a decay factor. A is eliminated, because it makes no sense and B is out, because that represents growth, not decay. You lose 75% of the amount overtime compounded, but you still have 25% that remains. To find that amount, you would subtract that amount from 1 to get the decay. 1 - 0.75 is 0.25. The decay factor is 0.25. The answer is D: 0.25.
