Suppose y varies inversely with x. Write an equation if y=-3 when x=17

Answer:

y = -51 ÷ x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard format of a inversely proportional equation goes by the format of y = k ÷ x. The question asks us to write an equation if y = -3 when x = 17 and y varies inversely with x.

So we substitute the values y = -3 and x = 17 in the equation y = k ÷ x

K = constant, we have to work this out

-3 = k ÷ 17

-3 × 17 = k

k = -3 × 17

k = -51

k = -51 So then we put this back into the original y = k ÷ x to find our final equation which is y = -51 ÷ x

A digital scale reports a 10 kg weight as weighing 8.975 kg
sergiy2304 [10]

That question is accompanied by these answer choices:

<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.

Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.

The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.

So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>

CALCULUS: For an object whose velocity in ft/sec is given by v(t) = sin(t), what is its distance, in feet, travelled on the inte
rodikova [14]

The linked answer is wrong because that integral gives you the net displacement of the object, not the total distance.

To get the distance, you have to integrate the speed (as opposed to velocity), which involves integrating the absolute value of the velocity function.

\mathrm{distance} = \displaystyle\int_1^5 |\sin(t)| \,\mathrm dt

By definition of absolute value,

|\sin(t)|=\begin{cases}\sin(t)&\text{for }\sin(t)\ge0\\-\sin(t)&\text{for }\sin(t)

Over this particular integration interval,

• sin(<em>t</em> ) ≥ 0 for 1 ≤ <em>t</em> < <em>π</em>, and

• sin(<em>t</em> ) < 0 for <em>π</em> < <em>t</em> ≤ 5

so you end up splitting the integral at <em>t</em> = <em>π</em> as

\mathrm{distance} = \displaystyle\int_1^\pi \sin(t)\,\mathrm dt + \int_\pi^5 (-\sin(t))\,\mathrm dt

Now compute the distance:

\mathrm{distance} = -\cos(t)\bigg|_1^\pi + \cos(t)\bigg|_\pi^5

\mathrm{distance} = -(\cos(\pi) - \cos(1)) + (\cos(5) - \cos(\pi))

\mathrm{distance} = -2\cos(\pi) + \cos(1) + \cos(5) \approx 2.82

making B the correct answer.
