If x varies inversely as p and x=2 when p=4 find the formula connecting them​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Doss [256]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = \frac{p}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

x ∝ p

x = kp -------(1)

<em><u>Where k is the constant of proportionality.</u></em>

Now, x = 2 when p = 4

<em>Putting in the above formula</em>

2 = k(4)

<em>Dividing both sides by 4</em>

k = \frac{2}{4}

=> k = \frac{1}{2}

Putting k in (1)

x = \frac{p}{2}

<em>Now this is the required equation connecting both.</em>

Solutions  

In Matrix we use initially based on systems of linear equations.The matrix method is similar to the method of Elimination as but is a lot cleaner than the elimination method.Solving systems of equations by Matrix Method involves expressing the system of equations in form of a matrix and then reducing that matrix into what is known as Row Echelon Form.<span> 

Calculations 

</span>⇒ <span>Rewrite the linear equations above as a matrix

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&42\\6&5&54\\\end{array}\right] 

⇒  Apply to Row₂ : Row₂ - 2 <span>Row₁

Inga [223]
Step 1:  -4(3x-1) becomes -12x+4
step 2: -12x+4=12-8x
step 3: add 12x to both sides, 4=12+4x
step 4: subtract twelve from both sides -8=4x
step 5: divide by 4, x=-2
