Answer:

- Inverse Variation

- Equation: XY = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

X-> 2 | 4 | 8 | 12

Y-> 6 | 3 | 3/2 | 1

Required

- State the type of variation the table represents

- Determine the equation to model the data

To check for type of variation; we'll make use of trial by error method.

To start with; We'll check for direct variation.

This is done using the following expression;

Y = kXwhere k is the constant of variation

Make k the subject of formula

k = \frac{Y}{X}

When Y = 6, X= 2

K = \frac{6}{2} = 3

When Y = 3, X = 4

K = \frac{3}{4}

There's no need to check further as both values of k are not equal

To check for inverse variation;

Y = \frac{k}{X}

Make k the subject of formula

k = YX

When Y = 6, X= 2

K = 6 * 2 = 12

When Y = 3, X = 4

K = 3 * 4 = 12

When Y = 3/2; X = 8

K = \frac{3}{2} * 8 = \frac{24}{2} = 12

When Y = 1, X = 12

K = !2 * 1 = 12

Note that for all values of X and Y, K remains constant;

Hence, the table represents an inverse direction

To determine the equation;

We make use of  k = YX

Substitute 12 for k

So, the equation becomes

12 = XY

Reorder

XY = 12

Hence, the equation is XY = 12

A person is purchasing a new golf club bag. The compartment for the golf balls is approximately the shape of a rectangular prism
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: ≈ 178 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

rectangular prism = 8 in x 11 in x 5 in

golf balls = 1.68 in diameter

Formula

Volume rectangular prism = l x w x h = 8 x 11 x 5 = 440 in³

Volume of ball = (4/3) πr³ = (4/3) (3.1416) (0.84)³ = 2.48 in³

# of balls inside the compartment = volume rectangular prism / volume ball

# of balls = 440 / 2.48

               = 177.4 ≈ 178 balls

Choose one of the factors of x^3 + 343.
Debora [2.8K]

First, note that 343=7^3. Then use the formula for the sum of perfect cubes:

a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2).

Therefore,

x^3 + 343=x^3+7^3=(x+7)(x^2-7x+49).

The quadratic trinomial x^2-7x+49 couldn't be factored anymore, so the expression x^3 + 343 has two factors x+7 and x^2-7x+49.

Answer: correct choice is A.

The perimeter of a​ standard-sized rectangular rug is 4040 ft. the length is 22 ft longer than the width. find the dimensions.
Nataly_w [17]
L = w+22

2(l+w) = 4040
2(w+22+w) = 4040
2w + 22 = 4040/2 = 2020
2w = 2020-22 = 1998
w = 999ft

l = w+22 = 999+22 = 1021ft
w = 999 ft
