8 0

Answer:

C. -262.44

Step-by-step explanation:

-3.24, 9.72,-29.16, 87.48

-3.24*-3= 9.72, 9.72*-3= -29.16, -29.16*-3= 87.48

the rule for this sequence is multiplying by -3

87.48*-3= -262.44

Find the value of n, correct to 4 significant figures.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

6.708

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly as the square of x (Given)

$\implies y\:\alpha \:x^2$ ......(1)

Y varies inversely as the square root of z (Given)
$\implies y\:\alpha\: \frac{1}{\sqrt z}$ ......(2)

Combining (1) & (2), we find:

$y\:\alpha \:\frac{x^2}{\sqrt z}$

$\implies y=\frac{kx^2}{\sqrt z}$ (Where k is constant of proportionality).....(3)

Now, when y = 2, x = 3 and z = 4, we find the value of k i.e. constant.

$2=\frac{k(3)^2}{\sqrt 4}$

$\implies 2=\frac{k(9)}{2}$

$\implies k =\frac{4}{9}$

Plugging the value of k in (3), we find:

$y=\frac{4x^2}{9\sqrt z}$ ....(4)

Next, in equation (4), plug y = 5, x = n and z = 16 and obtain the value of n by solving it.

$5=\frac{4(n)^2}{9\sqrt {16}}$

$\implies 5=\frac{4(n)^2}{9(4)}$

$\implies 5=\frac{(n)^2}{9}$

$\implies 5(9)=(n)^2$

$\implies 45=(n)^2$

$\implies n=\sqrt{45}$

$\implies n=6.70820393$

$\implies n\approx 6.708$
