Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 3

k = yx = 5 × 3 = 15, thus

y = $\frac{15}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When y = 15 then

15 = $\frac{15}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

15x = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x = 1

(3.8 x 10 ^ -6) x (2.37 x 10 ^ -3)<br><br> Enter the answer in science notification

Black_prince [1.1K]

Multiply the coefficients and the powers of 10 with each other:

$(3.8 \times 10^{-6}) \times (2.37 \times 10^{-3}) = (3.8\times2.37) \times (10^{-6} \times10^{-3})$

The numeric part simply yields

$3.8\times2.37 = 9.006$

As for the powers of 10, you have to add the exponents, using the rule

$a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c}$

So, we have

$10^{-6} \times10^{-3} = 10^{-6-3} = 10^{-9}$

So, the final answer is

$9.006\times 10^{-9}$
