Answer:

a. y = 12\times \frac{1}{x^2} \\b. x = 2 , when \ y =3

Step-by-step explanation:

y \ is\ inversely  \ proportional \  to \  square \  of \  x \ means , y \  \alpha \ \frac{1}{x^2}

Therefore, y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2}

Given y = 48, x = 1/2. We will find k.

                 y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2}\\\\48 = k \times \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\k = 48 \times \frac{1}{4} =12

Find x.

y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2} \\\\3 = 12 \times \frac{1}{x^2}\\\\\frac{3}{12} =  \frac{1}{x^2}\\\\x^2 = \frac{12}{3}\\\\x^2 = 4 \\\\x = 2

If 5x:(x-2) = 11:3 , find the value of x ?​
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

x = -11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios need to stay the same

5x        11

----- = -------

x-2       3

Using cross products

5x*3 = (x-2) 11

15x = 11x - 22

Subtract 11 from each side

15x-11x = -22

4x = -22

x = -22/4

x = -11/2

How do you solve law of cosine?​
Effectus [21]

Draw and label a standard Oblique Triangle, as we’ve done in our previous lessons.

Determine the given congruence, either SAS or SSS, and pick the equation that helps you solve for either a missing side or angle.

Plug into your chosen equation and solve.

The "Law of Cosines" can be used to calculate one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known. The "Law of Cosines" can be expressed as c2 = a2 + b2 - 2 a b cos C (1)

The cosine rule is an extension of this mathematic principal that makes it effective for non-right triangles and states that in regard to a certain angle, the square of the side of the triangle opposite that angle is equal to the squares of the other two sides added together, minus two times both..
