Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are inversely proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable.

Given that loudness, L varies inversely with the square of the distance, d², if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression becomes

L = k/d²

If L = 60 when d = 8, then

60 = k/8² = k/64

k = 60 × 64 = 3840

Therefore, the inverse variation equation is

L = 3840/d²

When d = 41, then

L = 3840/41²

L = 2.28 decibels

Answer:

The jetski is 2.28 dB loud when the person is 41 feet away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loudness (L) ∝ 1 / Distance² (d²)

Introduce a constant 'K'

L = K (1/d²)

L = K/d²

K = Ld²

Find the K from a previously known information: If a person 8 feet from a jetski hears 60 decibels loud

∴ d = 8 ft , L = 60 db

K = 60(8²) = <em>3840</em>

How loud is the jetski when the person is 41 feet away?

Distance is now 41 ft

since: L = K/d²

∴ L = 3840 / 41²

L = 3840 / 1681

L = 2.28 db

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function
daser333 [38]
The x-intercept of f(x) = (x + 6)(x - 3)
f(x) = 0 → (x + 6)(x - 3) = 0 → x + 6 =0 or x - 3 =0
x = -6 or x = 3
Therefore the x-intercepts are: (-6; 0) and (3; 0)
Your answer is (-6; 0)

A zookeeper weighed an African elephant to be 9x10^3 pounds and an African lion to be 4x10^2 pounds. How many times greater is t
maria [59]
Answer:  22.5 .  The weight of the elephant is "22.5 times greater" than                              the weight of the lion.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________

(weight of lion) * (x) = (eight of the elephant)  ;  Solve for "x" .
_____________________________________________________
   → Divide each side of the equation by "(weight of lion)" ;
  to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
    
   → (weight of lion)*(x) / (weight of lion) = (weight of the elephant) /
                                                           (weight of lion) ;
________________________________________________________
     →  x  = (weight of the elephant) / (weight of lion) ;
__________________________________________________________
     →  Plug in our "given values" ; and solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________________
     →  x = (<span>9*10</span>³) / (4*10²) =  (9*10⁽³⁻²⁾) / 4  =  (9*10¹) / 4  ;
__________________________________________________________  
     →  x =  90 /4 = 25/2  = 22.5 ; which is our answer.
