The amount of resistance, y, in a circuit varies inversely to the current, x, in the circuit. When 10 ohms of resistance are use

d in the circuit, 12 amperes of current are present. When 5 ohms of resistance are used in the same circuit, 24 amperes of current are present. How many ohms of resistance are used in the circuit when 15 amperes of current are present? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer:

8 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use either of the given conditions

y = 10 when x = 12 or y = 5 when x = 24, hence

k = 10 × 12 = 120

y = \frac{120}{x} ← equation of variation

when x = 15, then

y = \frac{120}{15} = 8

What is the sum of the difference?
Alona [7]

Answer:

A. 9x^4 and 3x^5y

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve this:

first way:

You can solve this my substituting numbers for x and y in this case i used 2 for x and 3 for y and see which one is equal to the original equations

the second way is the regular way

when you add or subtract numbers with variables and exponents you want to add the constants and add the exponents in this case 5x^{4} +4x^2 is the same as (5x+4x)^(4+4) = 9x^4and you can do the same process for subtraction

12x^{5}y-9x^5 y\\(12x-9x)^(5+5)*y= 3x^5y

Please help write the equation of the line.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x -2y -2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

using the formula, m= ( Y2 - Y1)/( X2-X1)

the gradient is found. the coordinates chosen are (2,0) and ( 0,-1)

the equation of the line is obtained using the formula

y -y1= m(x -x1)
