If y varies inversely with x, and y=8 when x=10 find x when y=4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 8 when x = 10

k = yx = 8 × 10 = 80

y = \frac{80}{x} ← equation of variation

When y = 4, then

4 = \frac{80}{x} ( multiply both sides by x )

4x = 80 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 20

Question is not complete and so I have attached the complete question.

Answer:

C: f(x) = -½x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope formula between 2 points, we know that;

slope; m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Let's consider 2 points from the table;

(0, 4) and (-4, 6)

Thus;

m = (6 - 4)/(-4 - 0)

m = 2/-4

m = -½

Now using slope intercept form equation which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), we can find the equation of the function by picking on point say (0, 4).

Thus;

y - 4 = -½(x - 0)

y - 4 = -½x

y = -½x + 4

Thus;

f(x) = -½x + 4

The cylinder shown here has a height of 7 centimeters and a radius of 4 centimeters. what is the area of the base of the cylinde
Inessa [10]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of a cylinder is a circle. The equation to find the area of a circle is A=r^2. A is the area, r is the radius. So, first r squared. 4 times 4 is 16. Then you multiply 16 times , and end up with 16.
