If y varies inversely as x and y=3 when x=8 what is x when y=4

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely as x

y = k × 1/x. {where k is a constant}

when y = 3, x = 8

Therefore 3 = k/8 and k is 24

y = 24/x

When y = 4,

4 = 24/x

4x = 24

(dividing both sides by 4)

x = 6

I need help with this practice I am having a tough time solving it properly
Monica [59]

Given:

There are given that the parent functions as a cosine function:

Where,

The amplitude of the function is 9.

The vertical shift is 11 units down.

Explanation:

To find the cosine function, we need to see the standard form of the cosine function:

f(x)=acos(bx+c)+d

Where,

a is the amplitude of the function,

Now,

According to the question:

The amplitude of the function is 9, which means:

f(x)=9cos(bx+c)+d

The vertical shift is 11 units down, which means:

f(x)=9cos(bx+c)-11

For period:

\begin{gathered} f(x)=-9cos(\frac{12\pi}{7}x+0)-11 \\ f(x)=-9cos(\frac{12\pi}{7}x)-11 \end{gathered}

Final answer:

Hence, the cosine function is shown below;

f(x)=-9cos(\frac{12\pi}{7}x)-11

You and your friend play a game. You answer 80% of the questions correctly and your friend answers 0.60 of the questions correct
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.

Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:

if\ x=2\\x*0.8=1.6\\x*0.6=1.2\\\\if\ x=3\\x*0.8=2.4\\x*0.6=1.8\\\\if\ x=4\\x*0.8=3.2\\x*0.6=2.4\\\\if\ x=5\\x*0.8=4\\x*0.6=3\\\\

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> Graph g(x) = 3x^2 - 12x - 3
Paul [167]

Answer: Vertex = (2, -15)  2nd point = (0, -3)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

g(x) = 3x² - 12x - 3

      = 3(x² - 4x - 1)

          a=1   b=-4  c=-1

Find the x-value of the vertex by using the formula for the axis of symmetry: x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}

x = \dfrac{-(-4)}{2(1)}

      = \dfrac{4}{2}

         = 2

Find the y-value of the vertex by plugging the x-value (above) into the given equation: g(x) = 3x² - 12x - 3

g(2) = 3(2)² - 12(2) - 3

       = 12  - 24 - 3

       = -15

So, the vertex is (2, -15)  ←  PLOT THIS COORDINATE

Now, choose a different x-value.  Plug it into the equation and solve for y. <em>I chose x = 0</em>

g(0) = 3(0)² - 12(0) - 3

       = 0  - 0 - 3

       = -3

So, an additional point is (0, -3)  ←  PLOT THIS COORDINATE
