\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

What does x equal to in this problem<br>​
IgorC [24]

Using the triangle, we can find the angle lengths and using those and trig ratios, find the side lengths. Lets say the top side length is "y".

Using the Law of triangles, we can find the missing angle from 180-90-70=20 deg.

Then we can use the Law of sines,

sin(70)/13=sin(20)/y

y=sin(20)*13/sin(70)

y=15.34

Finally, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, (13)^2+(15.34)^2=x^2

x = 20.1

velikii [3]

Answer:

dy/dx at x=6 is 0.334

Step-by-step explanation:

The center difference method requires that the values of the function are given in equal intervals which is the case, and allows one to find the value for x = 6 using those of the function for x = 5.5 and for x = 6.5 as follows:

\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{3.7436-3.4096}{6.5-5.5} =0.334
