Mathematics

Daniel [21]3 years ago

Answer:

y=\frac{-160}{x}, \ \ \ \ k=-160

Step-by-step explanation:

let k be a constant written as:

y=\frac{k}{x}

It is given that y=4, x=-40

#We substitute x, y values in our function:

y=\frac{k}{x}\\\\4=\frac{k}{-40}\\\\k=4\times-40\\\\k=-160

We substitute the constant value in the equation:

y=\frac{k}{x}, k=-160\\\\y=\frac{-160}{x}

Liula [17]
A parallelogram has 4 sides, 2 of them are parallel to each other along with the others.
You can see how far (from the middle of the quadrilateral) is one end of the line and then indicate how far the other end is. If those numbers are equal to the other lines distance then they are parallel

1) 155.91 grams would be left after 10 years

2) The population would be 376,478 in 2040

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the exponential function is y=a(b)^{x} , where

  • a is the initial amount (y at x = 0)
  • b is the growth/decay factor
  • b = 1 + r, where r is the rate of growth
  • b = 1 - r, where r is the rate of decay

1)

Scientists are studying a 500 grams sample of a radioactive element, which has an annual decay rate of 11%

∵ The initial amount is 500 grams

∴ a = 500

∵ The annual decay rate is 11%

∴ r = 11% = 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11

∵ b = 1 - r ⇒ decay

∴ b = 1 - 0.11 = 0.89

- We need to find how many grams of the sample would be left

  after 10 years

∴ x = 10

- Substitute all of these values in the form of the exponential function

∵ y=500(0.89)^{10}

∴ y = 155.9085996

- Round it to 2 decimal places

∴ y = 155.91

155.91 grams would be left after 10 years

2)

In 2000, the population of an Ohio town was 140,212. The population is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% each year

∵ The population of an Ohio town was 140,212

∴ a = 140.212

∵ The population is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% each year

∴ r = 2.5% = 2.5 ÷ 100 = 0.025

∵ b = 1 + r ⇒ growth

∴ b = 1 + 0.025 = 1.025

- We need to find the population in 2040

∵ The number of years is 2040 - 2000 = 40 years

∴ x = 40

- Substitute all of these values in the form of the exponential function

∵ y=140212(1.025)^{40}

∴ y = 376478.1709

- Round it to the nearest whole number

∴ y = 376,478

The population would be 376,478 in 2040

Plz help asap... Explain as much as possible to me plz
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{8}{x} = \frac{18}{6} ( cross- multiply )

18x = 48 ( divide both sides by 18 )

x = \frac{48}{18} = \frac{8}{3} = 2 \frac{2}{3}

Similarly

\frac{5}{y} = \frac{18}{6} ( cross- multiply )

18y = 30 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = \frac{30}{18} = \frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3}
