Answer:

k = 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

When dealing with inverse variation, the two variables vary in opposite directions. This means that as the first variable increases, second variable decreases and as the first variable reduces,the second variable increases.

Y varies inversely with x.

So as y increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.

We would proceed by introducing a constant of variation, k

y = k/x

From the information given,

The constant of variation = k

The value if x = 6.4

The value of y = 1.5

To find the value of k

y = k/x

k = yx = 1.5 × 6.4

k = 9.6

Turn 8 21/40 into a decimal

denpristay [2]

TO get the decimal 8 is obviously 8.0 and for 21/40 just divide 40 for both the numerator and denominator. Then add the 8.0 with the answer you get for 40 together to get the final answer.

1. Let f(x, y) be a differentiable function in the variables x and y. Let r and θ the polar coordinates,and set g(r, θ) = f(r co

Olenka [21]

Answer:

$g_{r}(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that:

$g(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=f(\sqrt{2}cos(\frac{\pi}{4}),\sqrt{2}sin(\frac{\pi}{4}))\\$

$g(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=f(\sqrt{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}),\sqrt{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}))\\$

$g(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=f(1,1)\\$

We proceed to use the chain rule to find $g_{r}(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})$ using the fact that $X(r,\theta)=rcos(\theta)\ and\ Y(r,\theta)=rsin(\theta)$ to find their derivatives:

$g_{r}(r,\theta)=f_{r}(rcos(\theta),rsin(\theta))=f_{x}( rcos(\theta),rsin(\theta))\frac{\delta x}{\delta r}(r,\theta)+f_{y}(rcos(\theta),rsin(\theta))\frac{\delta y}{\delta r}(r,\theta)\\$

Because we know $X(r,\theta)=rcos(\theta)\ and\ Y(r,\theta)=rsin(\theta)$ then:

$\frac{\delta x}{\delta r}=cos(\theta)\ and\ \frac{\delta y}{\delta r}=sin(\theta)$

We substitute in what we had:

$g_{r}(r,\theta)=f_{x}( rcos(\theta),rsin(\theta))cos(\theta)+f_{y}(rcos(\theta),rsin(\theta))sin(\theta)$

Now we put in the values $r=\sqrt{2}\ and\ \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$ in the formula:

$g_{r}(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=f_{r}(1,1)=f_{x}(1,1)cos(\frac{\pi}{4})+f_{y}(1,1)sin(\frac{\pi}{4})$

Because of what we supposed:

$g_{r}(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=f_{r}(1,1)=-2cos(\frac{\pi}{4})+3sin(\frac{\pi}{4})$

And we operate to discover that:

$g_{r}(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=-2\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+3\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$g_{r}(\sqrt{2},\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

and this will be our answer
