Assume that y varies inversely with x. If y = -6 when x = -2, find y when x = 5.

Answer:

y = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies inversely as x, it means there's an inverse relationship between y and x, that is if x is increasing, y is decreasing and vice versa. In such instance, we have to find the constant of proportionality "k"

Hence,

y~1/x

y=k/x

When y =-6 and x =-2, we insert these values to find the value of the constant "k"

-6 = k/-2

k = 12.

Using this value of k to determine value of y when x =5 becomes:

y = 12/5

y = 2.4

I know the answer is no x intercepts because we have an answer sheet to check our answers i just forgot how to do this and would

Answer:

negative square root will result in zero x-intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

there are no x-intercepts because if you use the quadratic formula on the equation you get a negative square root which results in zero x-intercepts

in this case, a=-1, b=4, c=-12

[-4±√4² - 4(-1)(-12)] / 2(-1)

= [-4 ± √16-48] / -2

= -4 ± √-32 / -2

The statement "The square of any rational number is rational" can be rewritten formally as "For all rational numbers x, x 2 is r
____ [38]

Answer:

a.

For all non zero fraction 1(1/x), 1/x is a fraction

For all 1/(1/x), if 1/(1/x) is non zero, 1/x is a fraction

b.

For all polynomial function f(x) = x³ + x² + x - 1, the derivative (dy/dx) is a polynomial function

For all f(x) x³ + x² + x - 1, if f(x) is polynomial, f'(x) is a polynomial function

c.

For all angles x,y,z of a triangle, the sum, x + y + z = 180

For all x,y,z, if x,y and z are the angles of a triangle, x+y+z = 180

d.

For all irrational numbers x, -x is irrational

For all x, if x is irrational then -x irrational.

e.

For two integers, x and y, the sum x+y is an integer

For x,y if x and y are integers, then x + y is an integer

f.

For two fractions, x/y and a/b the product ax/by is a fraction

For x/y and a/b, if x/y and a/b are fractions then ax/by is a fraction

Super ez im just slow plz help<br> -3x+15-6x=30+32x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

-15/41

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 15 - 6x = 30 + 32x

~Combine like terms

-9x + 15 = 30 + 32x

~Subtract 15 to both sides

-9x = 15 + 32x

~Subtract 32x to both sides

-41x = 15

~Divide -41 to both sides

x = -15/41

Best of Luck!
