Answer:

  P = 160/A

Step-by-step explanation:

For P to vary inversely with A, we must have P be proportional to the reciprocal of A. The constant of proportionality is given.

<h3>Inversely proportional</h3>

Two quantities are directly proportional if there is a constant of proportionality (k) that multiplies one of them to give the value of the other:

  y = kx

They are inversely proportional if the inverse of one of them can be multiplied by a constant of proportionality to give the value of the other:

  y = k(1/x) = k/x

In this problem, the variables P and A are said to be inversely proportional. That means the equation that relates them will be of the form ...

  P = k/A

You are given such a form with k=160, which is an appropriate value for the relation given by the problem. All you need to do is fill in the variable:

  P = 160/A

A boat heads north at 30 mph while a steamer heads east at 40 mph at the same time. When is the distance between them 50 mi?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

let t = time (hrs) that they are 50 mi apart

Use pythag here; a^2 + b^2 = c^2; dist = speed * time

(30t)^2 (40t)^2 = 50^2

900t^2 + 1600t^2 = 2500

It's obvious that t = 1 hr
