If q is directly proportional to (p-1)^2 and q=20 when p=3,find the values of p when q=80​

Mathematics

Nastasia [14]2 years ago

Answer:

p = 17 and -15

Step-by-step explanation:

If q is directly proportional to (p-1)², this can be written as;

q = k(p-1)²

If q = 20 when p = 3

20 = k(3-1)²

20 = 2²k

20 = 4k

k = 5

To get p wen q = 80

80 = 5(p-1)²

16 = (p-1)²

p-1 = ±√16

p-1 = 16 and p-1 = -16

p = 17 and p=-16+1

p = 17 and -15

pasha is thinking of a number such that when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number she gets the same
Lelechka [254]
<span>This is the equation made from the problem where x=mystery number
</span><span>2x+3(x+1)=4(x-1)</span><span>

</span><span>Now let's solve for x!
</span><span>
</span><span>We start by distributing 3 into (X+1)
</span><span>
</span><span>3(x)=3x  and 3(1)=3
</span><span>
</span><span>Now our equation is 2x+3x+3=4(x-1)
</span><span>
</span><span>Let's combine both x values on the left side of the equation: 2x + 3x=5x
</span><span>
</span><span>We now have 5x+3=4(x-1)
</span><span>
</span><span>Let's distribute 4 into (x-1)
</span><span>
</span><span>4(x)=4x  and 4(-1)=-4
</span><span>
</span><span>Now our equation is 5x+3=4x-4
</span><span>
</span><span>subtract 3 form both sides
</span><span>
</span><span>5x=4x-7
</span><span>
</span><span>subtract 4x from both sides

Seven different names were put into a hat. A name chosen 100 times. And the name Michael is chosen 9 times. What is experimental
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Experimental probability = 9 / 100

Theoretical probability = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability of an event is written as :

P = number of times event occur / total number of trials

Experimental probability is based on the outcome of an experiment that has taken place.

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcome of an event.

P = number of expected or required outcomes / total possible outcomes

Experimental probability of choosing the name Michael is :

Number of times Michael is chosen / number of trials

Experimental probability = 9 / 100 = 0.09

Theoretical probability of choosing michael:

Number of names in hat = 7

Number of names called Michael in hat = required outcome = 1

P = 1 / 7

If the number of names in hat was different from 7, then the theoretical probability will change.

Also, if the number of times a name was chosen was different from 100, then number of trials will also change and hence, the experimental probability.

The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 16, z has the value 0.875. What is the value of z when x= 21?
ziro4ka [17]
For z and x to be inversely proportional, there must be some constant k such that

zx=k

Given that z=0.875 when x=16, it follows that

0.875\cdot16=k\implies k=14

Then when x=21, we have

21z=14\implies z=\dfrac{14}{21}=\approx0.667
