Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation: y ∞ x

y = kx , where k is the constant of proportionality

now to find k, we substitute for y and x in the equation above

16 = 8k

therefore,

k = ¹⁶/₈

= 2.

Now, to find y , we move back to the equation above and substitute for x and k to get y

y = 12(2)

= 24

Given r(x) = startfraction 11 over (x minus 4) squared endfraction , which represents a domain restriction on r(x) and the corre

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The domain and inverse of the function

$r(x) = \frac{11}{(x - 4)^2}$ is

Domain = $\mathbb{R} - \{4\}$ ,

$r^{-1}(x) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{x}} + 4$

What is a function?

A function from A to B is a rule that assigns to each element of A a unique element of B. A is called the domain of the function and B is called the codomain of the function.

There are different operations on functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and composition of functions.

The given function is

$r(x) = \frac{11}{(x - 4)^2}$

r(x) is not defined if x - 4 = 0

r(x) is not defined for x = 4

Domain = $\mathbb{R} - \{4\}$ ,

Where $\mathbb{R}$ is the set of all real number

Let r(x) = y

$\frac{11}{(x-4)^2} = y\\(x - 4)^2 = \frac{11}{y}\\x - 4 = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{y}}\\x = \pm\sqrt{\frac{11}{y}} +4$

<em /> $r^{-1}(x) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{x}} + 4$

There are 16 types of flowers used to decorate for a party. Twelve of the flowers types last an average of 4 days before they wi

KATRIN_1 [288]

If 12 types only last 4 days, and the rest last an average of 6, then the average amount of days that ALL the flowers wilt would be 5. To find the average, you add 6 and 4 to get 10, and since there is only 2 number we added togehter to get 10, you would divide 10 by 2 to get 5!
