Answer:

The answer is y = 6/x ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise what is the meaning of the inverse variation

- It is a mathematical relationship between two variables

- It can be expressed by an equation in which the product of two

variables is equal to a constant

- If y is in inverse variation with x

∴ y ∝ 1/x

- Change this relation to equation

∴ y = k/x, where k is the constant of the variation

- We can write it by another way

∵ y ∝ 1/x

∴ y = k/x ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ yx = k

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ There is an inverse variation between the two variables x and y

∴ y ∝ 1/x

∴ y = k/x

- Look to the answer

# We will chose A because

∵ y = 6/x ⇒ use the cross multiplication

∴ yx = 6 ⇒ and 6 is a constant

∴ k = 6

* The answer is y = 6/x

Vertical angles are angles opposite of eachother and therefore the same. Since angle 2 is 93° that means angle 1 must also be 93°

A new battery is expected to have a storage capacity of 60 ampere-hour (A h). A sample is tested, resulting in a 2-side confiden

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Option B) The battery storage capacity is significantly different than 60 Ah, at a confidence level of 95 %

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean storage capacity = 60 ampere-hour

95% confidence interval =

$63\leq \mu \leq 72$

Thus, the correct answer based on the confidence interval is

Option B) The battery storage capacity is significantly different than 60 Ah, at a confidence level of 95 %

Since it is a two sided test we test whether the mean storage capacity is 60 Ah or different than 60 Ah

Thus, the battery storage is different from 60 Ah because the mean storage capacity does not lie in the 95% confidence interval.

A candle burns down at the rate of 0.5 inches per hour. The original height of the candle was 9 inches.

Anton [14]

<span>You can get those ordered pairs subtracting 9-0.5, then that result minus 0.5 because from the rate the candle reduces its height 0.5inches per each hour.Part B: Is this relation a function? Yes, because each value of x has a single result or output in “y” (image)Part C: Yes, only difference is the time, the candle reduces its height 0.45 inches per each hour, examples of ordered pairs: (0,9) (1,8.55) (2,8.1)</span>

H(W) = 80/w<br> What is the domain of the function?

AnnyKZ [126]

To find the domain, we find every single value that can exist along the x axis.

One can notice here that w is in the denominator, which means a value doesn't exist at 0, because we can't have 0 in the denominator.

Answer:

(-∞,0) U (0,∞)
