On a rectangle hyperbola, if one point is (2,3) and y varies inversely to x, find y when x is 6

1 answer:

4 0

<span>The graph of y against x in inverse proportion is a rectangular hyperbola but I don't see at all how this knowledge/observation is any help in solving the problem.

Inverse proportion means that as x doubles y will halve and the equation is xy = k where k is some number. A good example of inverse proportion is speed and time taken over some fixed distance. In this case x could represent the speed (mph) and y the time (h) and then k is the distance in miles.

Since we know y=3 when x=2 we have xy = 6. Now it's easy to see when x=6 y=1.</span>

A charter airline finds that on its Saturday flights from Philadelphia to London, all 120 seats will be sold if the ticket price

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a) $P=3(120-s)+200$

b) $215 \leq P \leq 290$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use a linear model to solve the problem.

s) Create an equation to express the increase on the price tickets and the number of seats sold

$s$ number of seats, if w analyze the info given the number of seats after increase the price is given by $120-s$ .

And let P the price for the ticket. So after the increase in ticket price the expression for the increase is P-200.

We have an additional info, for each increase of $3 the number of setas decrease 1. And the equation that gives to us the price change in terms of the increase of price is:

$P-200=3(120-s)$
