Given y inversely proportional to x and x = 3 for y = 6, what is x if y = 9?

Answer: x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse proportion equation has this form:

y=\frac{k}{x}

Where  "k" is the constant of variation.

We know that  "y" is inversely proportional to "x" and when x=3, y=6

Then, we can substittute these values into the equation and solve for "k" to  find its value:

6=\frac{k}{3}\\\\6*3=k\\\\k=18

Finally, we need to substitute "k" and y=9 into the equation and solve for "x":

9=\frac{18}{x}\\\\x=\frac{18}{9}\\\\x=2

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y is inversely proportional to x is written as:

x ∝ 1/y

When the proportion is removed, a constant is introduced. We have to find the constant first to find the value of x in y = 9

So,

Removing the proportionality symbol will give us:

x=k/y

As we know that x=3 for y=6 so

3 = k/6

3*6=k

So,

k=8

Hence the value of proportionality constant is 8.

Now putting the value of y which is 9

x=k/y

=>x=18/9

=>x=2

Determine all real values of p such that the set of all linear combination of u = (3, p) and v = (1, 2) is all of R2. Justify yo
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

p ∈ IR - {6}

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of all linear combination of two vectors ''u'' and ''v'' that belong to R2

is all R2 ⇔

u\neq 0_{R2}      

v\neq 0_{R2}

And also u and v must be linearly independent.

In order to achieve the final condition, we can make a matrix that belongs to R^{2x2} using the vectors ''u'' and ''v'' to form its columns, and next calculate the determinant. Finally, we will need that this determinant must be different to zero.

Let's make the matrix :

A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&1&p&2\end{array}\right]

We used the first vector ''u'' as the first column of the matrix A

We used the  second vector ''v'' as the second column of the matrix A

The determinant of the matrix ''A'' is

Det(A)=6-p

We need this determinant to be different to zero

6-p\neq 0

p\neq 6

The only restriction in order to the set of all linear combination of ''u'' and ''v'' to be R2 is that p\neq 6

We can write : p ∈ IR - {6}

Notice that is p=6 ⇒

u=(3,6)

v=(1,2)

If we write 3v=3(1,2)=(3,6)=u , the vectors ''u'' and ''v'' wouldn't be linearly independent and therefore the set of all linear combination of ''u'' and ''b'' wouldn't be R2.

Find the coordinates of the missing vertex of rectangle ABCD with A(−5, 4), B(2, 4), and C(2, 0).

Answer:

Answer:

safe speed for the larger radius track u= √2 v

Explanation:

The sum of the forces on either side is the same, the only difference is the radius of curvature and speed.

Also given that r_1= smaller radius

r_2= larger radius curve

r_2= 2r_1..............i

let u be the speed of larger radius curve

now, \sum F = \frac{mv^2}{r_1} =\frac{mu^2}{r_2}∑F=

r

mv

=

r

mu

................ii

form i and ii we can write

v^2= \frac{1}{2} u^2v

2

=

u

⇒u= √2 v

therefore, safe speed for the larger radius track u= √2 v

Answer:

190.67 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

130 mi/hr x 5280 ft/mi x 1/60 hr/min x 1/60 min/sec = 190.67 ft/sec

It makes more sense if you write these as fractions and cancel units.
