If y varies inversely as x, and y = 4 as x = 8, find y for the x-value of 2.

1 answer:

5 0

Because y varies inversely as x, instead of directly, you will need to multiply x by a fractional number (or divide x) in order to find y.
When x=8, y=4. Therefore, to find y, you need the "equation" y=(1/2)(x) or y=x/2.
So, when x=2, y=(1/2)(2) or y=2/2.
And so, y=1
Hope this helps!

Softa [21]

Answer:

a). $4.86\times 10^{-15}$ m

b). $4.21\times 10^{-2}$ m³

c). $7.00\times 10^{3}$ N²

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to convert each option into SI units.

a). $4.86(10^{-6})^{2}$ mm

= $4.86\times (10^{-12})\times (10^{-3} )$ m

= $4.86\times 10^{-15}$ m

b). (348 mm)³

= $(348)^{3}\times (10^{-3})^{3}$ m³

= $42144192\times 10^{-9}$ m³

= $4.21\times 10^{-2}$ m³

c). $(83700)^{2}\times (10^{-3})^{2}$ N²

= $700569\times 10^{4}\times 10^{-6}$ N²

= $7.00\times 10^{9}\times 10^{-6}N^{2}$

= $7.00\times 10^{3}$ N²

Square root:27 + SR:48+SQ:12 = ???

Anika [276]

Sqrt(27)+sqrt(48)+sqrt(12)
Sqrt(27)=sqrt(3*3*3)=3*sqrt(3)
Sqrt(48)=sqrt(4*4*3)=4*sqrt(3)
Sqrt(12)=sqrt(2*2*3)=2*sqrt(3)
Add the three to get 9*sqrt(3)
Final answer:
9*sqrt(3)
