Answer:

When x= 7/3, y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables are inversely related, it means that if one variable increases, the other one decreases. This relationship can be expressed as:

y = k/x, where "x" and "y" are variables and "k" the proportionality constant.

As the problem states, if y= 7 then x = 2/3. Now we can find the value of the constant "k"

7 = k/(2/3) ⇒ 7 x (2/3) = k ⇒ 14/3 = k.

So the equation for "x" and "y" ⇒ y = 14/3x

Finally you have to replace x = 7/3

⇒ y = 14/[3 x (7/3)] ⇒ y = 2.

Summarizing, when x = 7/3, y = 2.

Y=k/x
7=k/(2/3)
7=k(3/2)
times both sides by 2/3
14/3=k

y=(14/3)/x
y=(14/3)/(7/3)
y=(14/3)(3/7)
y=2

Vijay missed 12 out of his last 16 free throws. Considering this data, how many of his next 20 free-throw attempts would you exp

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The fraction computed shows that the number of his next 20 free-throw attempts that you expect Vijay to miss is 15.

<h3>How to solve the fraction?</h3>

From the information given, Vijay missed 12 out of his last 16 free throws. The fraction missed will be:

= 12/16

= 3/4

Therefore, the number of his next 20 free-throw attempts that you expect Vijay to miss will be:

= 3/4 × 20

= 15

Anna starts a fixed deposit with $178000, the bank offers 9.5% per year simple interest for 8 months. she has the option of rest

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Using simple interest, we have that:

A) The interest due after 8 months is $11,272.33.

B) The total value of the investment will be of $189,986.24.

The amount of interest earning using <em>simple interest</em>, after <u>t years</u>, with an <u>yearly interest rate of i</u> and an <u>initial investment of P</u> is given by:

$E = Pit$

In this problem:

Deposit of $178,000, hence $P = 178000$ .
Interest rate of 9.5% per year, hence $i = 0.095$ .
8 months, the time is in years, hence $t = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}$

Item a:

$E = Pit$

$E = 178000(0.095)\frac{2}{3} = 11272.33$

The interest due after 8 months is $11,272.33.

Item b:

For the second interest, we consider $P = 11272.33$ , hence:

$E_2 = Pit$

$E_2 = 11272.33(0.095)\frac{2}{3} = 713.91$

The total value will be composed by:

The initial deposit of $178,000.
The first interest of $11,272.33.
The second interest of $713,91.

Hence, it will be:

$T = 178000 + 11272.33 + 713.91 = 189986.24$

The total value of the investment will be of $189,986.24.

Write the standard equation for a circle with center (−6, −8), that passes through (0, 0)

chubhunter [2.5K]

Standard equation: (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Here, (0-[-6])^2 + (0-[-8])^2 = r^2
Find r: 36 + 64 = 100, so r = 10

Then the desired equation is (x+6)^2 + (y+8)^2 = 10^2
