The quantity y varies directly as x and inversely as z. When x is 10 and z is 4, y is 15. What is y when x is 20 and z is 6?

1 answer:

8 0

Y=(kx)/z

15=(k10)/4
15=(5k/2)
15=k(5/2)
ties both sides by 2/5 to clear fraction
6=k

y=(6x)/z

x=20
z=6
y=(6*20)/6
y=20

Gary had a 40% discount for car speakers. The sale price of the speakers was $96.25. What was the original price of the speakers

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price after the discount is subtracted is $96.25 then this is what you do

u times 0.40 x 96.25 which is 38.5 so since you are wanting to know what the price was before the discount you would add 38.5 to 96.25 and when you do that your answer is 134.75

but if you are just trying to get the discount from 96.25 you subtract 38.5 from 96.25

The population of a local species of dragonfly can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1=42 and the common ratio

san4es73 [151]

$\bf \textit{sum of an infinite geometric serie}\\\\
\stackrel{for~~|r|\ \textless \ 1}{S=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{\infty}~a_1r^i\implies \cfrac{a_1}{1-r}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=42\\
r=\frac{3}{4}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
S=\cfrac{42}{1-\frac{3}{4}}\implies S=\cfrac{42}{\frac{1}{4}}\implies S=164$

bearing in mind that, the geometric sequence is "convergent" only when |r|<1, or namely "r" is a fraction between 0 and 1.
