Let x1 = 12, y1 = 15, and y2 = 3. Let y vary inversely with x. Find x2.

1 answer:

3 0

We have that an inverse variation in a function is given by:
$y = k / x
$
We must find the value of the constant k.
To do this, we substitute the values of x1 = 12, y1 = 15.
We have then:
$15 = k / 12
$
Clearing k we have:
$k = (15) * (12)

k = 180$
Substituting the value of k we have that the inverse variation is:
$y = 180 / x
$
For y2 = 3 we have:
$3 = 180 / x2
$
Clearing x2 we have:
$x2 = 180/3$
$x2 = 60$
Answer:
$x2 = 60$

Which of the following expressions is equal to g(x)?

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Option D is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are two graphs. The first one is given as

$f(x) = log_{2} x\\$

The second one equation we have to find out.

Option A given as

$g(x) =\frac{1}{2} log_{2} x$ is having x intercept as

(0,1/2). But our g(x) has x intercept as 1. Hence not correct.

Option B: $g(x) = log_{2} \frac{1}{2} x$

This has x intercept as (0,2). Since does not match with g(x) not correct

OPtion C:

$g(x) = log_{2} 2x$

Here x intercept = 1 matches with ours.

Also g(2) = 2, twice as that of original f(x)

Hence option C is not right

Option D is only right because x intercept should be 1 and also when x=4 y=2(log 4 to base 2)

I’ve attached my work below for #4
5) 8% is equivalent to 8 cents so each item was $1.08
Than you know he spent 16.20 so you divided
1.08/16.20 which equals 15
So he got 15 items
6) the moon is 250,000 miles away which is about driving around earth 10 times which would take 6 months (not sure about this one)

Hope this helps!
Have a nice day :)
