Xy=k

3*5=k

k=15

xy=15 or y=15/x

So if somthing varies inversely then when one value goes up, the other value goes down so xy=z and z has to be the same so lets say that z=16
when x=2 y=8
when x=4 y=4
when x=8 y=2
when x=16 y=1
so xy=z
subtitute
(3)(5)=15
so if x=5 y=3
x=1 y=15
x=15 y=1

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function<br> f(x) = (x – 8)(x + 9)?

max2010maxim [7]

x-intercept means f(x) = 0

(x-8)(x+9) = 0 ⇒ x = 8 or x = - 9

There are two points which are x-intercepts. They are (8,0) and (-9,0).

Simplify the square root of 32/5

elixir [45]

Remember $\sqrt{ \frac{x}{y} } = \frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{y} }$
and
$\sqrt{ab^2} =b \sqrt{a}$
$\sqrt{ \frac{32}{5} } = \frac{ \sqrt{(4^2)(2)} }{ \sqrt{5} } = \frac{ 4\sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{5} }$
times whoe thing by $\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5} }$
$\frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5}$

What’s the missing angle

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

A) 150

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle must add up to a total of 180 degrees.

So we can make an equation as given below:

20+10+?=180

30+?=180

?=150

So the missing angle is 150 degrees
