F is proportional to 1/x^2
distance = x
A reduction of 25 percent = 0.75x
Let’s put this in place of x
F = 1/(0.75x)^2
And simplify
F = 1/0.5625x^2
So you need to find the percentage increase from 1/x^2 to 1/0.5625x^2
So what does 1/x^2 multiply by to give 1/0.5625x^2
Written as an equation it is y/x^2 = 1/0.5625x^2
Multiply both sides by x^2
y = 1/0.5625
y = 1.778 (rounded to 3 decimal points)
So the decimal multiplier is 1.778 and so the percent increase is approximately 77.8%
The answer is b because there is a negative in the exponent and the number needs to be a single digit and 54 is double digit. hope this helps!
The point of intersection of the two lines is at (1,-1)
<h3>System of equation</h3>
The given system of expression is shown below
x - 2y = 3
5x + 3y = 2
The solution to the system of equation is the point of intersection
From equation 1
x = 3 + 2y
Substitute into 2
5(3+2y) + 3y = 2
15 +10y + 3y = 2
13y = -13
y = -1
Substitute y = -1 into 3
x = 3 + 2y
x = 3+(-2)
x = 1
Hence the point of intersection of the two lines is at (1,-1)
