Answer:

Hello,

answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2}{x} -\dfrac{x}{x+5} =\dfrac{10}{x^2+5x} \\\\we\ suppose\ x\neq 0\ and\ x\neq -5\\\\\text{Reducing to the same denominator}\\\dfrac{2(x+5)-x^2}{x(x+5)} =\dfrac{10}{x^2+5x} \\\\Simplify\ by\ x^2+5x\\\\2x+10-x^2=10\\\\-x^2+2x=0\\\\-x(x-2)=0\\\\roots\ are\ 2 \ and\ 0\ (to\ be\ excluded)\\\\Root=2\\$

(a) 28%

(b) 24%

When calculating the total amount of people it come out to 150.

According to the table 42 people smoke. 42/150 is 28%

According to the table 36 people exercise regularly. 36/150 is 24%

Consider the equality xy k. Write the following inverse proportion: y is inversely proportional to x. When y = 12, x=5.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac {60} {x}$ or $xy=60$ (depending on your teacher's format preference)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Proportionality background</u></h3>

Proportionality is sometimes called "variation". (ex. " 'y' varies inversely as 'x' ")

There are two main types of proportionality/variation:

Direct
Inverse.

Every proportionality, regardless of whether it is direct or inverse, will have a constant of proportionality (I'm going to call it "k").

Below are several different examples of both types of proportionality, and how they might be stated in words:

$y=kx$ y is directly proportional to x
$y=kx^2$ y is directly proportional to x squared
$y=kx^3$ y is directly proportional to x cubed
$y=k\sqrt{x}}$ y is directly proportional to the square root of x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ y is inversely proportional to x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x^2}$ y is inversely proportional to x squared

From these examples, we see that two things:

things that are <u>directly proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>multipli</u>ed to the constant of proportionality "k"
things that are <u>inversely proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>divide</u>d from the constant of proportionality "k".

<h3><u>Looking at our question</u></h3>

In our question, y is inversely proportional to x, so the equation we're looking at is the following $y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ .

It isn't yet clear what the constant of proportionality "k" is for this situation, but we are given enough information to solve for it: "When y=12, x=5."

We can substitute this known relationship pair, and find the "k" that relates this pair of numbers:

<h3><u>Solving for k, and finding the general equation</u></h3>

General Inverse variation equation...

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

Substituting known values...

$(12)=\dfrac {k} {(5)}$

Multiplying both sides by 5...

$(12)*5= \left ( \dfrac {k} {5} \right ) *5$

Simplifying/arithmetic...

$60=k$

So, for our situation, k=60. So the inverse proportionality relationship equation for this situation is $y=\dfrac {60} {x}$ .

The way your question is phrased, they may prefer the form: $xy=60$

The figure below shows three uniform objects: a rod with m1 = 7.00 kg, a right triangle with m2 = 3.70 kg, and a square with m3

navik [9.2K]

The answer is

G = [m1(veca1a2) + m2 (veca3a4) + m3veca5a6)] / (m1 + m2 + m3)

G= m1x5 + m2 x 4sqrt (2) + m3x 3sqrt (2) / 16 = 35 +4 x 3.7x sqrt (2) + 5.3 x3 4sqrt (2) / 16 =35 + 36<span> sqrt (2) / 16
G = 53.09
