Answer:
xy = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for inverse variation is
xy =k
If y = 4 and x = 7
4*7 = k
28 = k
The equation is xy = 28
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression can be written as

The - can be taken out from under the radicand and a 2 can be factored out of the expression to leave you with the expression

Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x + 40 = 3x - 20
2. 40 = 2x - 20
3. 60 = 2x
4. 30 = x
The line y = x + 3 has slope 1, so we look for points on the curve where the tangent line, whose slope is dy/dx, is equal to 1.
y² = x
Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x) :
2y dy/dx = 1
dy/dx = 1/(2y)
Solve for y when dy/dx = 1 :
1 = 1/(2y)
2y = 1
y = 1/2
When y = 1/2, we have x = y² = (1/2)² = 1/4. However, for the given line, when y = 1/2, we have x = y - 3 = 1/2 - 3 = -5/2.
This means the line y = x + 3 is not a tangent to the curve y² = x. In fact, the line never even touches y² = x :
x = y² ⇒ y = y² + 3 ⇒ y² - y + 3 = 0
has no real solution for y.
Answer: cos(Θ) = (√15) / 4
Explanation:
The question states:
1) sin(Θ) = 1/4
2) 0 < Θ < π / 2
3) find cos(Θ)
This is how you solve it.
1) Use the fundamental identity (in this part I use α instead of Θ, just for facility of wirting the symbols, but they mean the same for the case).

2) From which you can find:

3) Replace sin(α) with 1/4
=>

=>

4) Given that the angle is in the first quadrant, you know that cosine is positive and the final answer is:
cos(Θ) =

.
And that is the answer.
