The value of x when y = 9 is x = 2 or x = -2

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that value of y varies inversely as the square of x, and y=4, when x=3.

Therefore the initial statement is:

y \propto \frac{1}{x^{2}}

To convert to an equation, multiply by k, the constant  of variation

y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2}

y = \frac{k}{x^2}  --- eqn 1

Given that,

y = 4 when x = 3

Now find value of k

4 = \frac{k}{3^2}\\\\4 \times 9 = k\\\\k = 36

<em><u>Find the value of x when y = 9</u></em>

x = ?

y = 9

From eqn 1,

9 = \frac{k}{x^2}\\\\9 = \frac{36}{x^2}\\\\x^2 = 4\\\\x = \pm 2

Thus value of x is found

A man bought an article for #50,000, and sold it for #35,000. what is the percentage lost
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage loss is calculated as

\frac{loss}{original} × 100%

loss = 50000 - 35000 = 15000, thus

percent loss = \frac{15000}{50000} × 100% = 30%

Answer:

  see the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The x- and y-intercepts are easily found:

<u><em>X-intercept</em></u>

Set y = 0 and divide by the coefficient of x.

  -x +0 = 8

  x = -8

__

<u><em>Y-intercept</em></u>

Set x = 0 and divide by the coefficient of y.

  0 -2y = 8

  y = -4

__

Now, we have two points on the graph: (-8, 0) and (0, -4). A third point can be one that is halfway between these: (-4, -2). The graph is attached.
