Answer:

P = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given P varies inversely with x the the equation relating them is

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

To find k use the condition P = 12 when x = 4

12 = $\frac{k}{4}$ ( multiply both sides by 4 )

48 = k

P = $\frac{48}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = - 48, then

P = $\frac{48}{-48}$ = - 1

After being treated with chemotherapy, the radius of the tumor decreased by 23%. What is the corresponding percentage decrease i

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that tumor has an spherical geometry, whose volume ( $V$ ) is calculated by:

$V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot R^{3}$

Where $R$ is the radius of the tumor.

The percentage decrease in the volume of the tumor ( $\%V$ ) is expressed by:

$\%V = \frac{\Delta V}{V_{o}} \times 100\,\%$

Where:

$\Delta V$ - Absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor.

$V_{o}$ - Initial volume of the tumor.

The absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor is:

$\Delta V = V_{o}-V_{f}$

$\Delta V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot (R_{f}^{3}-R_{o}^{3})$

The percentage decrease is finally simplified:

$\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{R_{f}}{R_{o}}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%$

Given that $R_{o} = R$ and $R_{f} = 0.77\cdot R$ , the percentage decrease in the volume of tumor is:

$\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{0.77\cdot R}{R}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%$

$\%V = 54.34\,\%$

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.
