Equations:
b = 2a + 1
a * b = 36 --> a * (2a + 1) = 36 --> 2a^2 + a - 36 = 0
Factor: 
(2a + 9)(a - 4) = 0
2a + 9 = 0 --> a = -9/2 = -4.5
a - 4 = 0 --> a = 4
Assuming a is an integer, then a = 4 so b = 2(4) + 1 = 9
Answer: 4 and 9

Honestly, this one works out to be a quadratic (which I don't really feel like going into detail) . . . so instead, since this one is fairly simple to think about, I'll simply try "trial and error" . . .

Possible combinations:
1 × 36 = 36
2 × 18 = 36
3 × 12 = 36
4 × 9 = 36
6 × 6 = 36

Obviously, multiply 4 × 2 = 8 . . . and 9 is one more than 8, which is 2 times the first number, 4 . . . so that's your answer . . .

the numbers are 4 and 9

Assume that y varies inversely with x. If y=1/3 when x=1/2, find y when x=1/4.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

y = \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = \frac{1}{3} when x = \frac{1}{2} , thus

\frac{1}{3} = \frac{k}{\frac{1}{2} } = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

k = \frac{1}{6}

y = \frac{1}{6x} ← equation of variation

When x = \frac{1}{4} , then

y = \frac{1}{6(\frac{1}{4}) } = \frac{1}{\frac{3}{2} } = \frac{2}{3}
