Inverse variation?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

An Inverse variation states that a relationship between two variables in which the product is always constant.

If one of the variable increases then the other decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged.

if y is inversely proportional to x, then the equation is of the form

y = \frac{k}{x} , where k is constant.

As per the given condition, A constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with it's mass.

i.e, a \propto \frac{1}{m}

By definition of inverse variation;

a = \frac{F}{m} . ......[1]  ,where F is the constant force.

It is given that an object has mass(m)= 4kg and the acceleration of an object(a) = 14 m/s^2

Substitute these in [1] to find the constant force F;

14 = \frac{F}{4}

or

F =14 \times 4 = 56 kg m/s^2

Now, if the same force acts upon the another object whose mass (m) = 7 kg then calculate acceleration.

[1]⇒  a = \frac{56}{7} = 8 m/s^2

therefore, the acceleration of an another object is, 8 m/s^2

      C = 2πr      Divide both sides by 2π
C/2π = r           Switch the sides to make it easier to read
       r = c / 2π

What is the value of x? Please explain the step process to getting to the conclusion.
olga55 [171]

First, split the triangle into half.

So the angle 38 becomes 38/2=19.

So we know two angles in the triangle:

One is 19 degrees.

The other one is 90 degrees (marked red).

The angles in a right-angled triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So to find the x angle, we calculate it by:

180 - (90+19) = 71

(the sum of three angles) - (the sum of the two known angles) = unknown angle

So x = 71 degrees.

25%


If you are buying 2 shirts for the same price, you have to calculate the cost of the shirt at half price first (1 piece of the pie) and then add it the original price (2 equal pieces of the pie since you just divided that to the price of the second shirt). That would be considered 3 out of 4 pieces off the pie or 75%. Your savings would be 25%.

Find the first term of the following geometric sequence ----,42,126,378,1,134
sergey [27]
Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...

126/42=378/126=1134/378=3

The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:

42=a(3)^(2-1)

42=3a

a=14

So the first term is 14.
