Y is inversely proportional to x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Inessa [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. xy = 63

2. y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Variation: inverse Proportion

y = 7, x = 9

Required

- Write an equation connecting y and x

- Find y when x = 21

Given that thee variation is inversely proportional;

This implies that

y\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{x}

Convert variation to equation

y\ = \frac{k}{x} ----------- Equation 1

Where k is the constant of variation

Substitute 7 for y and 9 for x in equation 1

7 = \frac{k}{9}

Multiply both sides by 9

9 * 7 = 9 * \frac{k}{9}

63 = k

Substitute 63 for k in equation 1

y = \frac{63}{x}

Multiply both sides by x

x * y = \frac{63}{x} * x

xy = 63

Hence, the equation connecting x and y is xy = 63

Solving for when x = 21

Substitute 21 for x in the above equation

21 * y = 63

Divide both sides by 21

\frac{21 * y}{21} = \frac{63}{21}

y = 3

An account grows at an annual interest rate of r⁡​ ⁣, so it grows by a factor of x=1+r⁡​ ⁣⁣ ​⁡ each year. The function A(x)=800x
Paladinen [302]

Given:

Annual interest rate = r⁡​%

Growth factor : x = 1 + r⁡​

The below function gives the amount in the account after 4 years when the growth factor is x⁡​ ⁣⁣.

A(x)=800x^4+350x^3+500x^2+600x

To find:

The total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year and initial amount.

Solution:

Rate of interest = 3% = 0.03

Growth factor : x = 1 + ⁡0.03 = 1.03

We have,

A(x)=800x^4+350x^3+500x^2+600x

Substitute x=1.03 in the given function, to find the total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.

A(1.03)=800(1.03)^4+350(1.03)^3+500(1.03)^2+600(1.03)

A(1.03)=800(1.12550881)+350(1.092727)+500(1.0609
)+618

A(1.03)=900.407048+382.45445+530.45+618

A(1.03)=2431.311498


A(1.03)\approx 2431.31


Therefore, the total amount in the account is 2431.31 if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.

For initial amount the rate of interest is 0.

Growth factor : x = 1 + ⁡0 = 1

Substitute x=0 in the given function to find the initial amount.

A(1)=800(1)^4+350(1)^3+500(1)^2+600(1)

A(1)=800+350+500+600

A(1)=2250

Therefore, 2250 was put into the account at the beginning.

A cylinder with a radius of 4 yd and a volume of 80yd (find the height)
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Height of the cylinder = 1.60yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder =

V = πr^2h

V - volume of cylinder

π - 3.142

r - radius of cylinder

h - height of cylinder

We are provided with

V - 80

r - 4

π - 3.142

h - ?

80 = 3.142 * 4^2 * h

80 = 50.272 * h

To find h, divide both sides by 50.272

80/50.272 = 50.272h/ 50.272

1.599 = h

h = 1.60yd

What are the roots of 2x^2+10×-48=0
mojhsa [17]
X=-8,3.
divide all terms by the two in the first term to get x^2+5x-24=0. Then find the factors. To do so, find what two numbers can be multiplied to get 24, and whether those two numbers can be added or subtracted to get the middle term (5). Since 8x(-3)=24 and 8-3=5, (x+8) and (x-3) are the factors. Then set the factors equal to zero. Add or subtract these numbers to the other side of the equation and you then get x=-8,3. These are the roots.
