We know that
Inverse Variation is a<span> relationship between two variables in which the product is a constant
so
let
x------> a pitch of a musical instrument
y------> </span><span>the wavelength
x*y=k

find the value of k

for x=</span><span>220 hertz   y=3 ft
</span><span>x*y=k
220*3=k
k=660

</span>for x=165 hertz   y=4 ft
x*y=k
165*4=660
k=660<span>

the answer part a) is
</span><span>the type of variation between pitch and wavelength is an inverse variation
</span>
part b) <span>What is the pitch when the wavelength is 5 feet?
x=?
y=5 ft
k=660
x*y=k------> solve for x
x=k/y----------> x=660/5-----> x=132 hertz

the answer Part b) is
132 hertz</span>

1. (a). A police car, approaching right-angled intersection from the north, is chasing a speedmg
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

<em>The SUV is running at 70 km/h</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed As Rate Of Change </u>

The speed can be understood as the rate of change of the distance in time. When the distance increases with time, the speed is positive and vice-versa. The instantaneous rate of change of the distance allows us to find the speed as a function of time.

This is the situation. A police car is 0.6 Km above the intersection and is approaching it at 60 km/h. Since the distance is decreasing, this speed is negative. On the other side, the SUV is 0.8 km east of intersection running from the police. The distance is increasing, so the speed should be positive. The distance traveled by the police car (y) and the distance traveled by the SUV (x) form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance between them (d). We have:

d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

To find the instant speeds, we need to compute the derivative of d respect to the time (t). Since d,x, and y depend on time, we apply the chain rule as follows:

\displaystyle d\ '=\frac{x.x'+y.y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}

Where x' is the speed of the SUV and y' is the speed of the police car (y'=-60 km/h)

We'll compute  :

d=\sqrt{(0.8)^2+(0.6)^2}=\sqrt{0.64+0.36}

d=1\ km

We know d'=20 km/h, so we can solve for x' and find the speed of the SUV

\displaystyle \frac{x.x'+y.y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}=20

Thus we have

x.x'+y.y'=20

Solving for x'

\displaystyle x'=\frac{20-y.y'}{x}

Since y'=-60

\displaystyle x'=\frac{20+0.6(60)}{0.8}

x'=70\ km/h

The SUV is running at 70 km/h

A graph is shown below:
pshichka [43]
If one of the points is (0,36), then that shows that, that is the number where the line crosses the y-axis, so now all you have to do is plug in 36 to b in the y=mx+b formula. So the answer is B
