If y varies inversely as x, and y=1 as x=2 find y for the x- value of -1

Mathematics

Inverse variation is of the form y=k/x  (direct variation is of the form y=kx)

We are given that x=2 when y=1 so using the inverse form y=k/x we can solve for the constant of variation...

1=k/2

k=2

so the equation is:

y=2/x  now they want us to find y when x=-1 so

y=2/-1

y=-2

Which statement shows how two polynomials 4x2 and x2 + 3x + 7 demonstrate the closure property when multiplied?
son4ous [18]
By definition we have to:
 A set has under an operation if performance of that operation on set members always produces a member of the same set; in this case we also say that the set is closed under the operation.
 For this case we have the following polynomials:
 4x ^ 2

x ^ 2 + 3x + 7
 Multiplying we have:
 (4x ^ 2) (x ^ 2 + 3x + 7) = 4x ^ 4 + 12x ^ 3 + 28x ^ 2

 The product of two polynomials is also a polynomial.
 Answer:
 
d 4x ^ 4 + 12x ^ 3 + 28x ^ 2 is a polynomial
