$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}

$\bf \textit{frequency varies inversely with its wavelength}\qquad f=\cfrac{k}{w}
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
w=100\\
f=3000
\end{cases}\implies 3000=\cfrac{k}{100}
\\\\\\
300000=k\qquad thus\qquad \boxed{f=\cfrac{300000}{w}}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, when f = 500, what is \underline{w}?}\qquad 500=\cfrac{300000}{w}
\\\\\\
w=\cfrac{300000}{500}\implies w=600$

4 pencils and 3 crayons are 20.9 inches. 5 pencils and 4 crayons are 26.5 inches. Each pencil is the same length as the other pe

erastova [34]

Answer:

The length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

let "x" be the length of the pencils

let "y" be the length of the crayons

4 * x + 3 * y = 20.9

5 * x + 4 * y = 26.5 => x = (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5

Replacing:

4 * (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5 + 3 * y = 20.9

21.2 - 3.2 * y + 3 * y = 20.9

-0.2 * y = 20.9 - 21.2

y = -0.3 / -0.2

y = 1.5

now for x:

x = (26.5 - 4 * 1.5) / 5

x = 4.1

This means that the length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO BEST ANSWER- DUE TODAY

Quadratic Formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant.

Firstly, using our equation plug in the values into our equation (a = 1, b = -4, and c = 3):

$x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4*1*3}}{2*1}$

Next, solve the exponent and multiplications:

$x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16-12}}{2}$

Next, solve the subtraction:

$x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{4}}{2}$

Next, solve the square root:

$x=\frac{4\pm 2}{2}$

Next, you are going to solve this equation twice - once with the + symbol, once with the - symbol as such:

$x=\frac{4+2}{2}\\\\x=\frac{6}{2}\\\\x=3\\\\\\x=\frac{4-2}{2}\\\\x=\frac{2}{2}\\\\x=1$

<u>Your zeros (x-intercepts) are 3 and 1. These solutions are real and rational.</u>

Express 16 1/4in simplest radical form

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

${16}^{ \frac{1}{4} } \: can \: also \: be \: written \: as \: ( {{2}^{4})}^{ \frac{1}{4} }$

because ${2}^{4} = 16$

So,

${( {2}^{4} )}^{ \frac{1}{4} } = {(2)}^{4 \times \frac{1}{4} } = 2$

How can you tell whether a positive or negative association exists

stira [4]

Answer:

You can tell whether or not something is positive or negative by looking at the specific number for example if you look at this number -5 you know its a negative number because it has a - sign.Although when its positive it does not have any kind of format of signs according to my calculations.

Hope this helps!

Please give me 5 stars if it did i would very much appreciate it !!
