If y varies inversely as the square of x, and y = 1/8 when x = 1, find y when x = 5.

1 answer:

6 0

Y = k / x² ( y varies inversely as the square of x )
y = 1/8 when x = 1:
1/8 = k / 1²
8 k = 1
k = 1/8
For x = 5:
y = 1/8 / 5² = 1/8 : 25 = 1/8 · 1/25 = 1/200
Answer: A ) 1/200

Please help with 6 and 7

Ilya [14]

Answer:

6. The number is $-5$

7. The two numbers are $10$ and $11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Question six can be re-worded to create the following expression:

$-2=\frac{4x+10}{5}$

Solve for x to find the number:

$-2=\frac{4x+10}{5}\\-10=4x+10\\-20=4x\\\frac{-20}{4} = x\\-5 = x$

Question seven can be solved by first listing the constraints (assuming x is smaller than y):

x and y are less than 20
$x + 1 = y$
$3x - 8 = 2y$

To get the numbers, we can create a system of linear equations. First, solve for $y$ in each expression:

$y = x+1$

$2y = 3x-8\\y = \frac{3}{2}x - 4$

Solve for $x$ :

$x+ 1 = \frac{3}{2}x - 4\\x + 5 = \frac{3}{2}x\\5 = \frac{3}{2}x - x\\5 = \frac{1}{2}x\\10 = x$

Solve for $y$ :

$y = x + 1\\y = 10 + 1\\y= 11$

In a young woman's study group, 7 percent of the students are from the town where the young woman's school is located, 80 percen

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: the percent of study group students from outside the state is 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from the town where the young woman's school is located is 7%

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from in-state (but not from the school's town) is 80%.

Since the rest are from outside the state, the percent of study group students from outside the state would be

100 - (80 + 7) = 100 - 87 = 13%
