If y varies inversely as x and y=6 when x=8 find y when x=7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago

Answer:

y = 5  1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

For direct or inverse variation relation

relation between two variable and y can be expresses in form of

y = kx  where k is constant of proportionality .

Only thing happens in inverse relation is that when x increases then y decreases and vice versa. That is care by constant of proportionality

__________________________________

Thus, let the inverse relation be

y = kx

given

when y = 6 then x = 8

we will plug this value in y = kx

6 = k*8

=>k = 6/8 = 3/4

Thus,

relation is

y = 3/4 x

we have to find y when x = 7 ,

lets put x = 7 in y = 3/4 x

y = 3/4 *7 = 21/4 = 5 1/4

Thus, when x = 7 then y = 5 1/4

Answer:

zero goats and 120 Ilamas to get profit of $15,120

Step-by-step explanation:

Goats: G

Ilamas: l

Explicit constraints:

2G + 5l ≤ 400

100G+ 80l≤ 13,200

Implicit constraints

G≥0

I≥0

P= 84G+ 126l

See attachment for optimal area

substituting coordinats of optimal region in profit equation to get profit

When G= 132, l=0

P=84(132) + 126(0)

P=11,088

When G=0, l=120

P=84(0)+ 126(120)

P = 15120

When G= 100, l=40

P=84(100)+126(40)

P=13440

Vignesh owns a cottage in the shape of a cube with each edge of length 26 feet. The roof is in the shape of a square pyramid and
Zina [86]

Answer:

56√93 ≈ 540 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The roof is made up of 4 congruent isosceles triangles. Since the roof extends 2 ft over the edge of the cottage on each side, then the base of each triangle is 26 + 2 = 28 ft.

Let's calculate the area of one of the triangles and then just multiply by 4. See attachment. Drop a perpendicular from the vertex of a triangle to its base. We now have the triangle broken up into two right triangles. The hypotenuse is 17 ft and one of the legs of the right triangle is 28 / 2 = 14 ft. Then the height / other leg is:

\sqrt{17^2-14^2} =\sqrt{289-196} =\sqrt{93}

We now have the dimensions of each triangle: the height is √93 and the base is 28. The area of a triangle is: A = (1/2) * b * h, so we have the following.

A = (1/2) * b * h

A = (1/2) * 28 * √93 = 14√93

Multiply this by 4:

14√93 * 4 = 56√93

The total surface area is 56√93 ≈ 540 ft².
