Find the value of y in the equation

Mathematics
1 answer:

We want to find y from the equation
\frac{3}{y-2} =8

Multiply each side by (y - 2).
(y-2).( \frac{3}{y-2)}) = 8(y-2)
Note that (y-2) in the numerator and denominator cancel out on the left side.
Therefore
3 = 8(y - 2)
3 = 8y - 16
Add 16  to each side.
3 + 16 = 8y - 16 + 16
19 = 8y
Divideach side by 8.
19/8 = y

Answer: y= \frac{19}{8}

Surface Area of a Cylinder Formula: SA = 2πrh + 2πr²

  • <em>r</em> is radius
  • <em>h</em> is height

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

<em>r</em> = 11 in

<em>h</em> = 23 in

<u>Step 2: Find Surface Area</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Surface Area of a Cylinder Formula]:                       SA = 2π(11 in)(23 in) + 2π(11 in)²
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                         SA = 2π(11 in)(23 in) + 2π(121 in²)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                             SA = 506π in² + 242π in²
  4. Add:                                                                                                                   SA = 748π in²

A toy maker claims his best product has an average lifespan of exactly 14 years. A skeptical quality control specialist asks for
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

interval = [17.3948 , 20.6052]

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

random sample (n) = 45

average product lifespan = 19 years

standard deviation = 4 years

confidence interval of 99 %  = ?

we know,

t* = qt(1.99/2 + 44 ) = qt(0.995,44)

t* = 2.692

so,

interval

x = 19 \pm t* \times (\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}})

x = 19 \pm 2.692 \times (\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{45}})

x = 19 \pm 2.692 \times 0.5963

x = 19 \pm 1.6052

interval = [19 - 1.6052 , 19 + 1.6052]

interval = [17.3948 , 20.6052]

What was the percent increase of China's
Rom4ik [11]

The percentage increase China's population from 1970 to 1995 is: 56.25%.

<h3>How to Calculate Percentage Increase?</h3>

Percentage increase = (Final Value - Original Value)/Original value × 100.

Given the following:

Original value = 0.8 billion

Final Value = 1.25 billion

Final Value - Original Value = 1.25 - 0.8

Final Value - Original Value = 0.45

Percentage increase = 0.45/0.8 × 100 = 56.25%.
