The pressure of a gas p(v) varies inversely with the volume of gas v. the pressure of a gas measures 8kg/cm^2 when its volume is
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p and v vary inversely then the equation relating them is

p = \frac{k}{v} ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition p = 8 when v = 40

k = pv = 8 × 40 = 320

⇒ p(v) = \frac{320}{v} → B

a snowball is rolled down a giant hill. the radius of the snowball grows. every second the radius increases by 0.36 inches. four
Bad White [126]

Based on the fact that the radius of the snowball increases by 0.36 inches every second, the linear function can be found to be y = 0.36x + 1.66

<h3>How to find the linear function?</h3>

The linear function is the function that shows how to change in the rate of the independent variable would affect the rate of change in the dependent variable.

The linear function takes the form:

y = mx + b

y = dependent variable

m = slope or change in radius of snowball

x = seconds

b = y-intercept

Solving for the y-intercept gives:

3.1 = 0.36(4) + b

b = 3.1 - 1.44

= 1.66

The linear function is therefore:

y = 0.36x + 1.66
