Determine whether quantities vary directly or inversely and find the constant of variation. 16 factory workers made 40 pieces in

a certain amount of time. How many workers are needed to make (a) 20, (b)25 and (c)100 pieces in the same amount of time, assuming each worker works at the same rate?

Answer:

Part A) 8\ workers

Part B) 10\ workers

Part C) 40\ workers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

Let

x -----> the number of workers

y ----> the number of pieces made

In this problem

The relation between the variables x and y represent a direct variation (proportional variation)

so

For x=16, y=40

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

k=\frac{y}{x}

substitute the values

k=\frac{y}{x}

k=\frac{40}{16}\\k=2.5\ \frac{pieces}{worker}

The linear equation is equal to

y=2.5x

Part A) How many workers are needed to make 20 pieces

For y=20 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

20=2.5x

x=8\ workers

Part B) How many workers are needed to make 25 pieces

For y=25 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

25=2.5x

x=10\ workers

Part C) How many workers are needed to make 100 pieces

For y=100 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

100=2.5x

x=40\ workers

The distance between two points knowing theirs coordinates:

AB =√[(x₂-x₁)² +(y₂-y₁)²]; ===>A(-2,4) & B(0,-6) Given
                                              A(x₁,y₁) & B(y₂,y₁)

AB =√[(0-(-2))²+(-6-4)²] =√(104) = 10.198 ≈ 10.2

Solving separable differential equation DY over DX equals xy+3x-y-3/xy-2x+4y-8​
Ivanshal [37]

It looks like the differential equation is

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{xy + 3x - y - 3}{xy - 2x + 4y - 8}

Factorize the right side by grouping.

xy + 3x - y - 3 = x (y + 3) - (y + 3) = (x - 1) (y + 3)

xy - 2x + 4y - 8 = x (y - 2) + 4 (y - 2) = (x + 4) (y - 2)

Now we can separate variables as

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{(x-1)(y+3)}{(x+4)(y-2)} \implies \dfrac{y-2}{y+3} \, dy = \dfrac{x-1}{x+4} \, dx

Integrate both sides.

\displaystyle \int \frac{y-2}{y+3} \, dy = \int \frac{x-1}{x+4} \, dx

\displaystyle \int \left(1 - \frac5{y+3}\right) \, dy = \int \left(1 - \frac5{x + 4}\right) \, dx

\implies \boxed{y - 5 \ln|y + 3| = x - 5 \ln|x + 4| + C}

You could go on to solve for y explicitly as a function of x, but that involves a special function called the "product logarithm" or "Lambert W" function, which is probably beyond your scope.

Answer:

  all are functions except Relation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If any input value (first of an ordered pair) is used more than once, the relation is not a function. Output values can be used as often as you like.

Only Relation 2 is not a function.
