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

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

A small business assumes that the demand function for one of its new products can be modeled by p = Cekx. When p = $40, x = 1000

Maru [420]

Answer:

C= 82.1116

k=-0.0007192

Step-by-step explanation:

$p=Ce^{kx}\\40=Ce^{k1000}\\30=Ce^{k1400}\\$

Applying logarithmic properties yields in the following linear system:

$ln(40) = ln(C) + 1000k\\ln(30) = ln(C) + 1400k$

Solving for k:

$ln(40) = ln(C) + 1000k\\ln(30) = ln(C) + 1400k\\400 k = ln(30)-ln(40)\\k=-0.0007192$

Solving for C:

$40=Ce^{-0.0007192*1000}\\C= \frac{40}{e^{-0.0007192*1000}}\\C=82.1116$

C= 82.1116

k=-0.0007192

Consider the function. What is the y-intercept of f–1(x)? –16 –12

Mekhanik [1.2K]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Remember you have to write clear questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here, I'll assume the function as:

$f(x)=x^2+2x-16$

The y-intercept of a function is the point at which the graph of the function touches the y-axis. This occurs when we set $x=0$ . In other words, we define the y-intercept (let's call it $b$ as:

$b=f(0)$

Setting $x=0$ in our function we have:

$b=f(0)=(0)^2+2(0)-16 \\ \\ \boxed{b=f(0)=-16}$

So <em>in this context the y-intercept is -16</em>

Then find the area S of the region.<br><br> y=2 x^2, y^2=1/2 x

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Recall that the area under a curve and above the x axis can be computed by the definite integral. If we have two curves

such that

<span> f(x) > g(x)
</span>
then the area between them bounded by the horizontal lines x = a and x = b is

To remember this formula we write
