SOLUTION

If the table represents an inverse variation, it means that y is inversely proportional to x, written as

\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ \propto is\text{ a sign of proportionality } \end{gathered}

Removing the proportionality sign and introducing a constant k, we have

\begin{gathered} y=k\times\frac{1}{x} \\ y=\frac{k}{x} \end{gathered}

In the first column, we have x = -4 and y = 3.5. Substituting these values for x and y, we have

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{k}{x} \\ 3.5=\frac{k}{-4} \\ k=3.5\times-4 \\ k=-14 \end{gathered}

So, if it's an inverse variation, the relationship would be

y=\frac{-14}{x}

In the second column, x = -2 and y = 7.

Now lets substitute the value of x for -2. If we get y to be 7, then the relationship is an inverse variation

We have

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{-14}{x} \\ y=\frac{-14}{-2} \\ y=7 \end{gathered}

Since we got y = 7, the relationship is therefore an inverse variation.

The constant k = -14

The equation for the inverse variation is

y=\frac{-14}{x}

Use cosine rule,

cos(A)=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/(2bc)
=(10^2+12^2-6^2)/(2*10*12)
=13/15
A=29.926 degrees.................................(A)

cos(B)=(c^2+a^2-b^2)/(2ca)
=(12^2+6^2-10^2)/(2*12*6)
=5/9
B=56.251 degrees.................................(B)

cos(C)=(a^2+b^2-c^2)/(2ab)
=(6^2+10^2-12^2)/(2*6*10)
=-1/15
C=93.823 degrees.................................(C)

Check:29.926+56.251+93.823=180.0 degrees....ok

This math promblem!!!!

1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
   a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72     then 72+1= 73
   b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**
