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

On a sheet of paper, you have 100 statements written down.
serg [7]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first statement its true (At most 0 of the statements are true), there are not true statements in the paper. So, the first statement its false.

Now, if the first statement its false, this mean there must be at least 1  true statement in the paper.

Now, if the second statement its true ( at most 1 of the statements are true) this implies that the third statement its true (if "at most 1" its true, then "as most 2" must be true).

If any statement (besides the first) its true, then all the statement that follows it must be true.

The first non false statement, then, must be the statement made by the person 51:  "At most 50 statements are true"

And the 49 statements that follows are true as well.

A 3 foot wide painting should be centered on 13 foot wide wall how many feet should be on each side of the painting
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

5 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 3 foot wide painting should be centered on 13 foot wide wall, to determine how many feet should be on each side of the painting, the following calculations must be performed:

(13 - 3) / 2 = X

10/2 = X

5 = X

Therefore, 5 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
