Answer:

quantity a is halfed

Corrected question;

A quantity a varies inversely as a quantity b, if, when b changes a changes in the inverse ratio. What happens to the quantity a if the quantity b doubles?

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysing the question;

A quantity a varies inversely as a quantity b,

a ∝ 1/b

a = k/b ......1

when b changes a changes in the inverse ratio;

Since the change at the same ratio but inversely, k = 1

So, equation 1 becomes;

a = 1/b

If the quantity b doubles,

ab = 1

a1b1 = a2b2

When b doubles, b2 = 2b1

a1b1 = a2(2b1)

Making a2 the subject of formula;

a2 = a1b1/(2b1)

a2 = a1/2

Therefore, when b doubles, a will be divided by 2, that means a is halfed.

algol [13]
(0,3.75)(15,0)
slope(m) = (0 - 3.75) / (15 - 0) = -3.75/15 = - 0.25 or -1/4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/4
(15,0)...x = 15 and y = 0
now we sub
0 = -1/4(15) + b
0 = -15/4 + b
15/4 = b

y = -1/4x + 15/4
1/4x + y = 15/4....multiply by 4
x + 4y = 15.....and since it is a solid line, it contains an equal sign...and since it is shaded above the line, it is greater.
so ur inequality is : x + 4y > = 15 (thats greater then or equal)

Look carefully at the triangle solve for x ​
luda_lava [24]

The 3 inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees. Looking at the larger outside triangle the top angle is 30 and the lower right angle is 60.

30 + 60 = 90

The lower left angle needs to be 180 - 90 = 90 degrees.

That angle is split into two angles with one given as 70.

This means X needs to be 90 - 70 = 20 degrees.

x = 20
