Which values are solutions to the inequality? 5r≤6r−8 Select each correct answer. r = 7 r = 8 r = 9 r = 10

Ratling [72]

Answer:

r = 8,9,10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is :

5r≤6r−8 ...(1)

We need to find the value of r.

Subtracting 5r to both sides of the inequality .

5r-5r≤6r-5r−8

0≤r−8

r ≥ 8

Hence, the values of r are 8,9,10.

Consider the equality xy k. Write the following inverse proportion: y is inversely proportional to x. When y = 12, x=5.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac {60} {x}$ or $xy=60$ (depending on your teacher's format preference)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Proportionality background</u></h3>

Proportionality is sometimes called "variation". (ex. " 'y' varies inversely as 'x' ")

There are two main types of proportionality/variation:

Direct
Inverse.

Every proportionality, regardless of whether it is direct or inverse, will have a constant of proportionality (I'm going to call it "k").

Below are several different examples of both types of proportionality, and how they might be stated in words:

$y=kx$ y is directly proportional to x
$y=kx^2$ y is directly proportional to x squared
$y=kx^3$ y is directly proportional to x cubed
$y=k\sqrt{x}}$ y is directly proportional to the square root of x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ y is inversely proportional to x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x^2}$ y is inversely proportional to x squared

From these examples, we see that two things:

things that are <u>directly proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>multipli</u>ed to the constant of proportionality "k"
things that are <u>inversely proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>divide</u>d from the constant of proportionality "k".

<h3><u>Looking at our question</u></h3>

In our question, y is inversely proportional to x, so the equation we're looking at is the following $y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ .

It isn't yet clear what the constant of proportionality "k" is for this situation, but we are given enough information to solve for it: "When y=12, x=5."

We can substitute this known relationship pair, and find the "k" that relates this pair of numbers:

<h3><u>Solving for k, and finding the general equation</u></h3>

General Inverse variation equation...

$y=\dfrac {k} {x}$

Substituting known values...

$(12)=\dfrac {k} {(5)}$
