Answer:

D.)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5/x

so when the value of x triples, the new X becomes;

X = 3x

So,

Y = 5/ X

=> Y = 5/3x

=> Y = 1/3 . 5/x

=> Y = 1/3 . y

so the new value of y ( Y ) is 1/3 times original y.

Hence, D. is the answer

What is the equation represented by the order pairs {(0,32),(1,16),(2,8),(3,4)}?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The equation represented by the ordered pair is;

y = 2^(5-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the equation represented by the ordered pairs

From what we have in the question, we can see that while the x-values increase in arithmetic progression of 1

The y-values decrease in order of two geometrically

Thus, the equation is;

y = 2^(5-x)

Help please:Suppose that x and y inversely, and x=10 when y=8 write the function that models the inverse variation

jarptica [38.1K]

SOLUTION

From the question, we are told that y varies inversely as x

This is mathematically written as

$\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ \propto\text{ is a sign of proportionality } \end{gathered}$

Now, we will remove the proportionality sign and replace it with equal to sign =

If we do this, we will intoduce a constant k

$\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ y=k\times\frac{1}{x} \\ y=\frac{k}{x} \end{gathered}$

So we have the formula

$y=\frac{k}{x}$

We will substitute the values of x for 10 and y for 8 into the formula to get k, we have

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{k}{x} \\ 8=\frac{k}{10} \\ k=8\times10 \\ k=80 \end{gathered}$

Now, we will substitute k for 80 back into the formula to get the inverse function, we have

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{k}{x} \\ y=\frac{80}{x} \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is option C

Find the perimeter of WXYZ. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

C. 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of WXYZ = WX + XY + YZ + ZW

Use the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ to calculate the length of each segment.

✔️Distance between W(-1, 1) and X(1, 2):

Let,

$W(-1, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$X(1, 2) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$WX = \sqrt{(1 - (-1))^2 + (2 - 1)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (1)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{4 + 1}$

$WX = \sqrt{5}$

$WX = 2.24$

✔️Distance between X(1, 2) and Y(2, -4)

Let,

$X(1, 2) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Y(2, -4) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$XY = \sqrt{(2 - 1)^2 + (-4 - 2)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (-6)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{1 + 36}$

$XY = \sqrt{37}$

$XY = 6.08$

✔️Distance between Y(2, -4) and Z(-2, -1)

Let,

$Y(2, -4) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Z(-2, -1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$YZ = \sqrt{(-2 - 2)^2 + (-1 -(-4))^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (3)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{16 + 9}$

$YZ = \sqrt{25}$

$YZ = 5$

✔️Distance between Z(-2, -1) and W(-1, 1)

Let,

$Z(-2, -1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$W(-1, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$ZW = \sqrt{(-1 -(-2))^2 + (1 - (-1))^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (2)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{1 + 4}$

$ZW = \sqrt{5}$

$ZW = 2.24$

✅Perimeter = 2.24 + 6.08 + 5 + 2.24 = 15.56

≈ 15.6
