Since g(x) varies with x, therefore:
g(x) = k/x where k is a constant.

So, first we need to get k. We are given that g(x) = 0.2 when x = 0.1
Substitute with these values to get k as follows:
g(x) = k/x
0.2 = k/0.1
k = 0.2*0.1 = 0.02

Now, the equation became:
g(x) = 0.02 / x

We need to get the g(x) when x = 1.6
Therefore, we will substitute with x in the equation and calculate the corresponding g as follows:
g(x) = 0.02 / 1.6
g(x) = 0.0125

0.0125  "Varies Inversely" means that when one of the items is multiplied by a constant, the other item is divided by the same constant. Or in mathematical notation. xy = k  So let's calculate k. xg(x) = k 0.1 * 0.2 = k 0.02 = k  
Therefore  
g(x) = 0.02/x 
 Let's plug in the value 1.6:
 g(1.6) = 0.02/1.6
 g(1.6) = 0.0125
 
 So our answer is 0.0125

Triangle abc is a right traingle if side ac=7 and side bc= 10 what is the measure of ab?
Artist 52 [7]
<span>Use the Pythagorean theorem for the right triangle ABC, where

AB is the hypotenuse of the triangle;

AC and BC are the other two sides.


So,

(AC)^{2}+(BC)^{2}=(AB)^{2}\\\\ 7^{2}+10^{2}=(AB)^{2}\\\\ (AB)^{2}=49+100\\\\ (AB)^{2}=149\\\\ AB=\sqrt{149}
