$t\propto b\\ \\ \therefore \quad t=kb$

When t=450, b=50:

$450=k\cdot 50\\ \\ \therefore \quad k=\frac { 450 }{ 50 } =9\\ \\ \therefore \quad t=9b$

Answer:

$y = 1x - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to solve for the x intercept on the equation

$2x-5y=8\\2x-5(0)=8\\2x=8\\x=4\\(4,0)$

That is the x intercept for that equation.

Then solve for the y intercept on the equation

$4x-3y=12\\4(0)-3y=12\\-3y=12\\y=-4\\(0,-4)$

That is the x intercept for that equation.

Use that to find slope for point slope form

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-_{1}} \\\\\frac{-4-0}{0-4} \\\\\frac{-4}{-4} \\\\1$

1 is the slope

and slope makes B the y intercept so the equation is

$y = 1x - 4$

If alvin sold 60% of his baseball cards, gave away 30% of those that were left, and still had 40 baseball cards in his possessio

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The number of baseball card to begin with is 143

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The number of baseball cards = x

The number of sold baseball card = 60% of x

= 0.6 x

The number of left baseball card = x - 0.6 x = 0.4 x

The number of card gave away = 30 % of left cards

= 0.3 × 0.4 x = 0.12 x

The number of card left in his possession = 40

So, 0.6 x + 0.12 x + 40 = x

Or, 40 = x - 0.6 x - 0.12 x

Or, 40 = 0.28 x

∴ x = $\frac{40}{0.28}$ = 142.85 ≈ 143

Hence The number of baseball card to begin with is 143 Answer

A^-1/[a^-1 - b^-1] + a^-1/[a^-1 + b^-1]

o-na [289]

$\dfrac{a^{-1}}{a^{-1}-b^{-1}}+\dfrac{a^{-1}}{a^{-1}+b^{-1}}=a^{-1}\left(\dfrac{a^{-1}+b^{-1}}{(a^{-1}-b^{-1})(a^{-1}+b^{-1})}+\dfrac{a^{-1}-b^{-1}}{(a^{-1}+b^{-1})(a^{-1}-b^{-1})}\right)$

$=a^{-1}\left(\dfrac{(a^{-1}+b^{-1})+(a^{-1}-b^{-1})}{a^{-2}-b^{-2}}\right)$

$=\dfrac{2a^{-2}}{a^{-2}-b^{-2}}$

$=\dfrac{2b^2}{b^2-a^2}$
