Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

To find k use the condition y = 39 when x = $\frac{1}{3}$ , then

39 = $\frac{k}{\frac{1}{3} }$ ( multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{3}$ )

$\frac{1}{3}$ × 39 = k

13 = k

y = $\frac{13}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 26 , then

y = $\frac{13}{26}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Varies inversely

xy = k

------------------------

Find the constant of variation

y = 39 when x = 1/3

k = 1/3 * 39

k = 13

-----------------------

what is the value of y when x=26

26y = 13

y = 13/26

y = 1/2

Graph the equation y= 1/2 + 4

Alika [10]

I can’t really graph on this but place a dot on the four on the y axis and go up one and over two and place a dot there. just keep repeating it till u get to the end of the graph :)

Solve 3x2 + 4x = −5.

Alla [95]

Move the -5 over by adding 5 to both sides
3x^2+4x+5=0
must use quadratic formula

for an equation in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

a=3
b=4
c=5

x= $\frac{-4+/- \sqrt{4^2-4(3)(5)} }{2(3)}$
x= $\frac{-4+/- \sqrt{16-60} }{6}$
x= $\frac{-4+/- \sqrt{-44} }{6}$
x= $\frac{-4+/- 2\sqrt{-11} }{6}$
remember that√-1=i
x= $\frac{-4+/- 2i\sqrt{-11} }{6}$
x= $\frac{-2+/- i\sqrt{-11} }{3}$

x= $\frac{-2+ i\sqrt{-11} }{3}$ or x= $\frac{-2- i\sqrt{-11} }{3}$

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.<br> QUESTION ATTCHED BELOW!!!!!!!!!!

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

x ≈ - 9.41, x ≈ - 6.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 16x + 62 = 0 ( subtract 62 from both sides )

x² + 16x = - 62

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(8)x + 64 = - 62 + 64

(x + 8)² = 2 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 8 = ± $\sqrt{2}$ ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = - 8 ± $\sqrt{2}$

Hence

x = - 8 - $\sqrt{2}$ ≈ - 9.41

x = - 8 + $\sqrt{2}$ ≈ - 6.59
