Answer:

$y=\frac{28}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form $y*x=k$ or $y=k/x$

we have

y = 4 when x = 7

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=y*x$

substitute

$k=(4)(7)=28$

therefore

The equation for the inverse variation is equal to

$y=\frac{28}{x}$

At the beginning of a population study, the population of a large city was 1.65 million people. Three years later, the populatio

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

C. 1.8027

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential population growth model is given by:

$P(t) = P_{0}e^{rt}$

In which P(t) is the population after t years, $P_{0}$ is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

At the beginning of a population study, the population of a large city was 1.65 million people. Three years later, the population was 1.74 million people.

This means that $P_{0} = 1.65, P(3) = 1.74$

Applying this to the equation, we find r. So

$P(t) = P_{0}e^{rt}$

$1.74 = 1.65e^{3r}$

$e^{3r} = \frac{1.74}{1.65}$

$e^{3r} = 1.0545$

Applying ln to both sides

$\ln{e^{3r}} = \ln{1.0545}$

$3r = \ln{1.0545}$

$r = \frac{\ln{1.0545}}{3}$

$r = 0.0177$

$P(t) = 1.65e^{0.0177t}$

What would be the population of the city 5 years after the start of the population study?

This is P(5).

$P(t) = 1.65e^{0.0177t}$

$P(5) = 1.65e^{0.0177*5}$

$P(5) = 1.8027$

So the correct answer is:

C. 1.8027

3. The ratio of boys to girls in the 9th grade is 7 to 8. There are 304 girls. How many boys are there?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: 266 boys
Because there are 304 girls we do 304/8=38 now we do 38 multiplied by 7 (as that is the ratio for the number of boys) 38*7=266 boys
Hope this helped
