Find the distance between points O and V.-2 and 1/2
1 answer:
This problem is about the distance between points, in this case, we have to unidimensional coordinates, that is, point O is at -2, and Point V is at 1/2.
It's important to know that the proper way to find the distance here is by subtraction, we need to subtract the final points and the initial point. In math, such subtraction is called "differential" or "variation", just a fancy name.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that M is directly proportional to r³ then the equation relating them is
M = kr³ ← k is the constant of proportion
To find k use the condition when r = 4, M = 160, thus
160 = k × 4³ = 64k ( divide both sides by 64 )
2.5 = k
M = 2.5r³ ← equation of variation
(a)
When r = 2, then
M = 2.5 × 2³ = 2.5 × 8 = 20
(b)
When M = 540, then
540 = 2.5r³ ( divide both sides by 2.5 )_
216 = r³ ( take the cube root of both sides )
r = = 6
