\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}

\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby

-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{\underline{s} ound intensity varies inversely as the square of the \underline{d}istance from source}}{s=\cfrac{k}{d^2}}

so, let's say, you have an original distance of say "x" meters, namey d = x, and then you move away and change it to 9 times as much, namely d = 9x, let's check.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{original distance}}{s=\cfrac{k}{(x)^2}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{new distance}}{s=\cfrac{k}{(9x)^2}}\implies s=\cfrac{k}{(9^2x^2)}\implies s=\cfrac{k}{81x^2}
\\\\\\
s=\cfrac{k}{x^2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{81}\impliedby \textit{notice, the new sound intensity is }\frac{1}{81}\textit{ of the original}

Hello.

The further away from the speakers you are t<span>he less intense the sound will be.
</span>
<span> If sound intensity varies inversely with the square of the distance, you can represent this as: </span>
<span>I = 1/d^2 </span>

<span>If you double the distance: </span>
<span>I = 1/(2d)^2 </span>
<span>I = 1/4d^2 </span>
<span>I = 1/4d^2 </span>

<span>so by doubling the distance, you have 1/4th the intensity.
</span>
Have a nice day

Solve the separable differential equation dtdx=x2+164 and find the particular solution satisfying the initial condition x(0)=9
maria [59]
\dfrac{dt}{dx} = x^2 + \frac{1}{64} \Rightarrow\ dt = \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ \\ \displaystyle \int 1 dt = \int \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x}{64} + C

C = 9 because all the x terms go away.

t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \dfrac{x}{64} + 9

Find the 75th term of the arithmetic sequence -1, 15, 31, ...−1,15,31,...
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

1183

Step-by-step explanation:

Common difference:

d = 31 - 15 = 16

nth term:

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

Here, a_1 = -1

a_{75} = -1 + (75 - 1)(16)

a_{75} = 1183

6. If you spun the spinner below, what are the odds that you will spin an
denis23 [38]

If you mean that is a 4 digit number then here is your answer.

Answer:

1:1

Step-by-step explanation:

So there is 1000 to 9999. That includes 9999-999= 9000 numbers. Since each number it is either a odd number or an even number, we can say that it is 1:1 There would be 4500 odd and 4500 even numbers. Every even number is followed by an odd number. for example: 1000-1001 1002-1003 1004-1005

so on so you would get to the point that you get to 9998-9999

Hope it helped you!
