The value of y varies directly with x and y=3 when x=-6. Find y when x=1

1 answer:

6 0

Hi, ok all you need to do is use the direct variation formula which is= y/x=y/x so you will replace your numbers by each value which get us to = 3/-6=y/1 so you cross multiply which gives us 3=-6y you divide 3 by -6 and that is the value of y, thank you for reading hope it helps ;)

=======================================================

Explanation:

The author sells 21,000 books in the first month.

Then they sell 21,000*(1-0.12) = 21,000*(0.88) = 18,480 in the second month.

Then they sell 18,480*(1-0.12) = 18,480*(0.88) = 16,262.4 = 16,262 in the third month.

And so on. These values follow a geometric sequence with first term a = 21,000 and common ratio r = 0.88

We can think of the 0.88 as 88% of the original value (since losing 12%, we keep the remaining 88%)

-------------

Use the formula below to sum the first 9 terms of the geometric sequence

Plug in a = 21000 and r = 0.88

$S_n = a*\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}\\\\S_9 = 21000*\frac{1-0.88^9}{1-0.88}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*\frac{0.6835216}{0.12}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*5.6960133\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616.2793\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616\\\\$
