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.

A and B can do a work in 3 days but A working alone takes 4 days. In what time will B do it if he works alone?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Let B have x days work:

A + B = 3 days

1/4 + 1/x = 1/3

1/3 - 1/4 = 1/x

1/12 = 1/x

x = 1 / (1/12)

x = 12

B takes 12 days

Which of the following is equivalent to log408 rounded to three decimal places?

il63 [147K]

The answer is: $0.564$

The explanation is shown below:

1. To solve this problem you must apply the following proccedure:

2. You have the logarithm expression:

$log40(8)=x$

3. First, you must apply the following property:

$a^{loga(x)} =x$

4. Therefore, you have:

$40^{log40(8)}=40^{x} \\ 8=40^{x}$

5. By applying logarithm on both sides, you have:

$log(8)=log(40^{x} )$

6. By applying the property $log(a)^{b} =blog(a)$ :

$log(8)=xlog(40)$

7. Solve for x:

$x=log(8)/log(40)\\ x=0.564$
