Varying inversely means y=a number divided by x
find the number: 7=k/5 =>k=35
so the equation is y=35/x

Answer:

y=35\times\frac{1}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  y varies inversely with x

To Find: Write a function that models the inverse function. x = 5 when y = 7

Solution:

We are given that  y varies inversely with x

So, y \propto \frac{1}{x}

\Rightarrow y=k\times\frac{1}{x} ---A

where k is the constant of proportionality

Now we are given that x = 5 when y = 7

So,  \Rightarrow 7=k\times\frac{1}{5}

\Rightarrow 35=k

Substitute the value of k in A

\Rightarrow y=35\times\frac{1}{x}

Hence a function that models the inverse function is y=35\times\frac{1}{x} .

Which of the following is a factor of 2xy + 8y − 8x − 32?
jok3333 [9.3K]

The correct factorization of this equation is (2y - 8)(x + 4).

In order to factor polynomials with 4 terms like this, you can often use a strategy called grouping. To do that, split into two different binomials.

(2xy + 8y) and (-8x - 32)

Now you can factor out the greatest common factor of each parenthesis.

2y(x + 4) and -8(x + 4)

Now in grouping, if after factoring out the greatest common factor, you can put the two things you pulled out in one parenthesis. You can multiply that by one of the matching set for the final answer.

(2y - 8)(x + 4)
