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

If y varies directly with x and y=100 when x=5, what is the value of k?
horrorfan [7]
When it says varies directly, it means that y and x are going to be on opposite sides of the equals sign and that there is a constant, k,

y=kx

Plug in (5,100)

100=k(5)

K=20

If the temperature changed at a rate of -3 per hour,then after how many hours did the temperature reach -12
Oxana [17]

Answer:

If temperature is 0 then it takes 4 hours since 3 x 4 = 12 and 0 - 12 = -12

Whatever the temperature divide by three to get to 0 then add four to the quotient
