<span>The
graph of y against x in inverse proportion is a rectangular hyperbola
but I don't see at all how this knowledge/observation is any help in
solving the problem.
Inverse proportion means that as x doubles y will halve and the equation
is xy = k where k is some number. A good example of inverse proportion
is speed and time taken over some fixed distance. In this case x could
represent the speed (mph) and y the time (h) and then k is the distance
in miles.
Since we know y=3 when x=2 we have xy = 6. Now it's easy to see when x=6 y=1.</span>
Answer:
A and B
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 and -2 are the only values less than or = to -2
the rest are greater than -2
Answer:
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
Combine like terms
8x + 12 = 180
Subtract 12 from each side
8x+12-12 = 180-12
8x =168
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 168/8
x =21
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
l = v/wh
w
h
Answer:
Probabilities
Likely to happen (L) Unlikely to happen (U)
a. 4/5 5/8
b. 3/5 3/8
c. 4/5 4/7
d. 0.3 0.09
e. 5/6 and 4/5 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Probabilities in Percentages:
a. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 5/8 = 62.5%
b. The probability of 3/8 = 37.5% and 3/5 = 60%
c. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 4/7 = 57%
d. The probability of 0.3 = 30% and 0.09 = 9%
e. The probability of 2/3 = 67% and 4/5 = 80% and 5/6 = 83%
b) To determine the relative values of the fractional probabilities, it is best to reduce them to their fractional or percentage terms. When this is done, the relative sizes become obvious, and then, comparisons can be made.
