If a varies inversely with b, and a=20 when b=14, find the equation that relates a and b.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

ab = 280

or

a = 280/b

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is of the form

xy = k

Since we have a and b as our variables

ab = k

20 *14 = k

280 = k

ab = 280

Sometimes they write it as

a = 280/b

Find the vertex of the parabola.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The vertex is (3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = x^2 - 6 x + 13

Completing the square

-6/2 = -3 and squaring it = 9

    = x^2 -6x +9 +4

   = ( x-3) ^2 +4

The equation is now in vertex form

a( x-h) ^2 +k

where the vertex is ( h,k)

The vertex is (3,4)

A house purchased for $230,000 has lost 6% of its value each year for the last four years. What is the house worth now?
lutik1710 [3]
You can use the compound growth to work this out,

Firstly you need to make a multiplier for -6%;
1-(6/100) = 0.94

The you times the amount of money by 0.94 to the power of 4 because you are working out 4 years:
230000*0.94^4 = 179527.26

The answer is $179527.26,

You have 400 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular plot. Find the length and width of the plot that will maximize the area. W
3241004551 [841]
Well, we can denote L and W for the length and width respectively. Lets say the A is the area, we have: 1. A=(L × W) as well as 2. 2(L+W)=400. We rearrange the second equation to get 3. W=200-L. From this, we can see that 0<L<200. Substitute the third equation into the first to get A=(200L-L²). put this formula into the scientific calculator and you will find a parabola with a maximum. That would be the maximum area of the enclosed area. Alternatively, we can say that L is between 0 and 200 when the area equals 0. (The graph you find will be  area against length). As the maximum is generally found halfway, we substitute 100 into the equation and we end up with 10000.

Hope this helps.

Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

They both weigh the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pound of feathers would land and wouldn't hurt, but a pound of bricks would hurt.

Since they both are exactly one pound, if that is the only question and it's a one-part question then there's your answer.
