Two variables vary inversely if their product is constant (does not change). The variables w and t vary inversely so their product wt = k were k is a constant. Solving this for t we get t=k/w

We are told that w = 4 and t = 1/5 so we know their product wt = (4)(1/5) = 4/5. This is what I called k before.

Therefore the relationship between w and t can be modeled by t = (4/5) / w. That is, t = 4 / 5w

Further, when w = 9, we find t by substituting 9 for w in the equation just found and obtain: t = 4 / [(5)(9)] = 4/45. That is, when w = 9, t = 4/45.

This mean choice D is the correct answer.

Explain the special pattern for sketching a parabola
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

the parabola can be written as:

f(x) = y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

first step.

find the vertex at:

x  = -b/2a

the vertex will be the point (-b/2a, f(-b/2a))

now, if a is positive, then the arms of the parabola go up, if a is negative, the arms of the parabola go down.

The next step is to see if we have real roots by using the Bhaskara's equation:

x =  \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}

Now, draw the vertex, after that draw the values of the roots in the x-axis, and now conect the points with the general draw of the parabola.

If you do not have any real roots, you can feed into the parabola some different values of x around the vertex

for example at:

x =  (-b/2a) + 1 and x =  (-b/2a) - 1

those two values should give the same value of y, and now you can connect the vertex with those two points.

If you want a more exact drawing, you can add more points (like x =  (-b/2a) + 3 and x =  (-b/2a) - 3) and connect them, as more points you add, the best sketch you will have.

What is (6x+4) - (4x+2)
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplifying

6x + 4 = 4x + 2

2. Reorder the terms

4 + 6x = 4x + 2 to 4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

3. Solving

4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

4. Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Then add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 6x + -4x = 2 + 4x + -4x

5. Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

4 + 2x = 2 + 4x + -4x

6. Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

4 + 2x = 2 + 0

4 + 2x = 2

7. Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 2x = 2 + -4

8. Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 2x = 2 + -4

2x = 2 + -4

9. Combine like terms: 2 + -4 = -2

2x = -2

10. Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1

11. Simplifying

x = -1
