Answer:

The new volume is 198.62\ cm^3.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure upon it.

Initial volume is 160 cubic centimetres and initial pressure is 108 Pa. It is required to find the volume when the pressure is 87 centimetres.

According to given condition,

V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

V_2 is new volume

V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{160\times 108}{87}\\\\V_2=198.62\ cm^3

So, the new volume is 198.62\ cm^3.

Determine if the sequence is geometric. If it is, find the common ratio, the 8th term, and the explicit formula. -2, 6, -18, 54,
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio,r. Considering the given sequence,

r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3

Therefore, the sequence is geometric.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = - 2

r = - 3

The explicit formula is

Tn = - 2 × (- 3)^(n - 1)

To find the 8th term, T8,

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^(8 - 1)

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^7

T8 = - 2 × - 2187

T8 = 4374

Ganezh [65]

Answer: area is 286.16 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the sand pit is 29.2 feet and the width is 9.8 feet.

L= 29.2 ft

W = 9.8 ft

To find out the area, all we have to do is multiply the lenght by the width:

And do not forget that to calculate the area, all units must be the same and for the area, it is always the unit squared, in this case, feet square or simply (ft²).

A = l*w

A = 29.2 * 9.8 = 286.16 ft²

The amount Lin's sister earns at her part-time job is proportional to the number
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

y = 9.6x

Yes, y is a function of x.

x =  \frac{5}{48} y

Step-by-step explanation:

For a proportional relation, the equation is given by:

y = kx

where k is the unit rate of change.

We were told that, Lin's sister earns $9.6 per hour.

This means k=9.6.

We substitute to get:

y = 9.6x

We could rewrite this as

y(x) = 9.6x

Yes, y is a function of x.

To obtain an equation describing x as a function of y, we solve for x to get:

x =  \frac{1}{9.6} y
