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

first I would find all the ways to make 9

6+3=9

5+4

then I would find all the ways to make 10

6+4=10

5+5=10

then I would find all the ways to make 11

6+5

then I would find all the ways to make 12

6+6=12

then add the number of possibilities

9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 6

There are 6 different ways to make a sum of 9 or more

Larry claims that (14 + 12) × (8 + 12) and (14 × 12) + (8 × 12) are equivalent because they have the same digits and the same op

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Larry is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying big numbers will give significantly bigger results then multiplying smaller numbers then adding them. 14 + 12 = 26 & 8 + 12 = 20. 14 x 12 = 68 & 8 x 12 = 96. 96 + 168 is alot less then 26 * 20 so that is why larry is wrong
