Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = k
where k is the constant of variation.
We can also express the relationship between x and y as:
y =
where k is the constant of variation.
Since k is constant, we can find k given any point by multiplying the x-coordinate by the y-coordinate. For example, if y varies inversely as x, and x = 5 when y = 2, then the constant of variation is k = xy = 5(2) = 10. Thus, the equation describing this inverse variation is xy = 10 or y = .
Example 1: If y varies inversely as x, and y = 6 when x = , write an equation describing this inverse variation.
k = (6) = 8
xy = 8 or y =
Example 2: If y varies inversely as x, and the constant of variation is k = , what is y when x = 10?
xy =
10y =
y = × = × =
k is constant. Thus, given any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) which satisfy the inverse variation, x1y1 = k and x2y2 = k. Consequently, x1y1 = x2y2 for any two points that satisfy the inverse variation.
Example 3: If y varies inversely as x, and y = 10 when x = 6, then what is y when x = 15?
x1y1 = x2y2
6(10) = 15y
60 = 15y
y = 4
Thus, when x = 6, y = 4.
2nd answer choice
constant of variation is xy. XY=23. If X=7 then Y=23/7.
Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
When two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, the angles formed are the average of the arc an angle and its vertical intercept. In this case, our angle, 73, should be the average of x and 96. We can translate this to an equation and solve:
x + 96 = 146
x = 50
7q² - 28 = 0
+ 28 + 28
7q² = 28
7 7
q² = 4
q = ±4
q = 4 or q = -4
Solution Set: {±4} and {q|q = 4 or q = -4}
Mean = sum of values / number of values
74 = x/32
2368 = x
70 = y/19
1330 = y
mean for female students = (2368 - 1330)/(32-19) = 79.85
