Answer:

158

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is 3, 8, 13, ..., 253.

Going backwards, it's 253, 248, 243, ..., 3.

First term is 253, common difference is -5.

The nth term is:

a = 253 − 5(n − 1)

The 20th term is:

a = 253 − 5(20 − 1)

a = 158

if y varies inversely as x and y = 194 when x = -13, find y when x = 50. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessar

pashok25 [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies inversely as x.

$\therefore \: y = \frac{k}{x} \\ (k = constant \: of \: proportionality) \\ \therefore \: xy = k...(1) \\ plug \: y = 194 \: \: and \: \: x = - 13 \: in \: (1) \\ \therefore \: - 13 \times 194= k \\ \therefore \: k = - 2522 \\ substituting \: k = - 2522 \: in \: (1) \\ xy = - 2522...(2) \\ this \: is \: equation \: of \: variation. \\ plug \: x = 50 \: in \: (2) \\ 50 \times y = - 2522 \\ \therefore \:y = \frac{ - 2522}{50} \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \:y = - 50.44}}$
