y varies inversely with x.

Example:

If we multiply x by 2 we need to divide y by 2 too.

So,

If y = 16 and x = 1/2, find y when x = 32

Lets see, from 1/2 to 32 e need to multiply 1/2 by 64, right? So let's divide 16 by 64.

16/64 = 8/32 = 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4

So we can say that:

If y = 16 when x = 1/2, y = 1/4 when x = 32.

One of the numbers are negative
Remember this... a negative divided by a positive will result in a negative and a negative divided by a negative will result in a positive, the same goes for multiplication

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10+18+25+27+35+50=165

n=6

mean =165/6=27.5

x x- mean (x-mean)²

10 -17.5 306.25

18 -9.5 90.25

25 -2.5 6.25

27 -0.5 0.25

35 7.5 56.25

50 22.5 506.25

_____ ________

sum 0 965.5

_____ _________

standard deviation

$=\sqrt{\frac{sum}{n-1} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{965.5}{5} } \\=\sqrt{193.1} \\\approx 13.896$

A woman standing on a hill sees a flagpole that she knows is 65 ft tall. The angle of depression to the bottom of the pole is 14

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Let the distance between woman and pole be "x".

From diagram,

In ΔOAB,

tan 18 = $\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

tan 18 = $\frac{65 -y}{x}$

∴ x = $\frac{65 -y}{tan 18}$ ................ (1)

In ΔOBC

tan 14 = $\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

tan 14 = $\frac{y}{x}$

y = x × tan 14 ..............(2)

equating (2) in (1), we get;

x = $\frac{65}{tan 18 + tan 14}$

x = $\frac{65}{0.574}$

∵ tan 18 + tan 14 = 0.574

∴ x = 113.2 ft

i.e. The her distance from the pole is 113.2 ft.
