Since, in this case, we have 4 options then you just need to substitute each number.
A. y = 5/x
B. y = 14/x
C. y = 9/x
D. y = 3.5x
 
We know that x= 2 when y=7. So...
A. y = 5/x
    7=5/2
    7=2.5 
   This is false.

B. y = 14/x
    7= 14/2
    7=7
  This is right, So True.

C. y = 9/x
     7=9/2
     7=4.5
    False

D. y = 3.5x    7=3.5(2)
    7=7
  This one is also true.

In this case we look for definition.

he statement " <span>y </span>varies inversely as <span>x </span>means that when <span>x </span>increases, <span>y </span>decreases by the same factor. In other words, the expression <span>xy </span>is constant:
xy = k   

where k is the constant of variation.

We can also express the relationship between x and y as:

y =  k/x 

where k is the constant of variation.

What is the best interpretation of the y-intercept of the line ?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Last option

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the y-axis represents test scores. The lowest value on the y-axis is a 60.

The x-axis represents hours studied. The lowest value on the x-axis is a 0.

This implies a student who would study 0 hours would expect to score a 60 on the test.

I need help on this homework question please

(a) In functional notation, you are asked for C(600).

For this, put 600 where t is in the functional notation C(t).

(b) The value multiplying 8 is 0.5 when the exponent of 0.5 is 1. That is

... t/5730 = 1

Multiplying by 5730 gives

... t = 5730

It will take 5730 years for half the Carbon 14 to be gone.

___

Or, you can recognize a fraction is 1 when its numerator is the same as its denominator. That is t/5730 = 5730/5730 = 1 when t=5730.

What is the answer for number 8?
vfiekz [6]
<h2>527.52</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

radius (r) = 6

height (h) = 8

total surface area = 2π×r×h + 2πr²

= (2×3.14×6×8) + (2×3.14×6×6)

= (301 44) + (226.08)

= 527.52
