Answer:= y = 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

In inverse variation, both variables move in opposite directions. This means that as variable 1 increases, variable 2 reduces and as variable 1 reduces, variable 2 increases.

Y varies inversely with x.

So as y increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.

We would proceed by introducing a constant of variation, k

y = k/x

From the information given,

The constant of variation, k = 1.24

The value if x = 4.96

To find the value of y

y = k/x = 1.24/4.96

= 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.

Which of the following equations represent linear functions?

Papessa [141]

Answer:

$y=-2; y=4(2x)-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Equations do not have the value of x squared. They also shouldn't have the x value taken by the square root.

The second and third equations would be graphed as non-linear functions.

Find the first six terms of the sequence. a1=-7, an=2*an-1

AlladinOne [14]

The first term of the sequence is $a_{1} = -7$ .

The sequences is recursive, every next term of the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2.

So, we can find the next 6 terms as shown below:

$a_{2} = 2*a_{1}=2(-7)=-14$
$a_{3} = 2(-14)=-28$
$a_{4} = 2(-28)=-56$
$a_{5} = 2(-56)=-112$
$a_{6} = 2(-112)=-224$
$a_{7} = 2(-224)=-448$

Two people share £350 in the ratio 1 : 6. Calculate each share.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

£50 and £300

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio 1 + 6 = 7 parts

Divide the amount by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio

£350 ÷ 7 = £50 ← value of 1 part of ratio

Hence

1 person receives £50

the other person receives 6 × £50 = £300

3 Ximena draws an X shape in the coordinate plane as shown. Draw the images of

VARVARA [1.3K]

When a shape is rotated, it must be rotated around a point.

See attachment for the image of each rotation.

To do this, the top coordinates of the X shape will be transformed using the appropriate rotation rule; the same rule will then be applied to the other parts of the X shape.

The top coordinates of the X shape are:

$A = (0,0)$
