If y varies inversely as x, what is k when y=8 and x=4

Mathematics

Answer:

k = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies inversely as x

Then y = k/x

y = 8, x = 4

8= k/4

Cross multiply

k = 8 × 4

k = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies inversely as x.

\therefore \: y \:\alpha\: \frac{1}{x}\\\\ \therefore \: y =\frac{k}{x}\:\:\:(k = constant)\\\\ \therefore \: xy = k \\   when \: y=8 \:  and \:  x=4, \: k = ? \\  4 \times 8 = k \\ \therefore \: k = 32

Which number line shows the solution for
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

It's the last choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

| n | ≤ 2  represents the distance between n and 0 that is less than or equal to 2.  The dots on the 2 and -2 are black because the equal sign is part of the inequality.

Note the vertical lines about the n mean the absolute value of n - the positive distance between  n and 0, which has a maximum of 2 either side of the 0.

Can someone please help me please
Assoli18 [71]
A
Volume of the Cylinder
Givens
H = 60 yards.
Diameter = 20 yards
pi = 3.14

Formula
V = pi * r^2 * h

Calculations
r = d/2
r = 32/2
r = 16

V =  3.14 * 16^2 * 60 
V = 48230 cubic yards [Cylinder's Volume]

Cone
<em>Formula</em> 
V = 1/3 pi r^2 H

<em>Givens</em>
pi = 3.14
r = 16 yards
h = 20 yards

<em>Sub and solve</em>
V = 1/3 3.14 * 16^2 * 20
V = 5359 cubic yards.

<em>Total Volume of the structure</em>
48230 + 5359 = 53589 Cubic Yards

<em>Water Content</em>
The answer to this part requires a proportion.

1 Cubic yard will hold 201.97 gallons.
53589 yd^3 = x

1/201.97 = 53589 /x  [ You should get a pretty big answer]
x = 201.87 * 53589
x = 10 819 092 gallons can be held by the tank. 

10 819 092 gallons <<<< answer

B 
If the height of both the cylinder and the cone remain the same. If the radius doubles in both the cylinder and the cone then the tank will hold 4 times as much. 

Total volume before doubling the radius = pi * r^2 h + 1/3 pi r^2 h
New Total Volume = pi * (2*r)^2 h + 1/3 pi * (2r)^2 h
New Total volume = pi * 4r^2 h + 1/3 pi *4 r^2 h
New Total Volume = 4 [pi r^2 h + 1/3 pi r^2 h]
but pi r^2 h + 1/3 pi r^2 h is the total volume before doubling the radius

New volume = 4 original volume. <<<<< answer to part B

attashe74 [19]

Answer: 8^2 18^2

Step-by-step explanation: The way that you figure out the power is by multiplying the 4x2=8 than the 9x2=18 than you raise them both to the second power.

Keith wants to make cupcakes. To make cupcakes he needs 1 3/10 cups of flour per batch of cupcakes. If Keith has 13 cups of flou
marin [14]

Answer: Keith can make 10 batches of cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make cupcakes, he needs 1 3/10 cups of flour per batch of cupcakes. Converting 1 3/10 cups of flour into improper fraction, it becomes 13/10 cups of flour.

Let x represent the number of batches of cupcakes that Keith can make If Keith has 13 cups of flour, . Therefore,

13/10 cups of flour = 1 batch of cupcakes

13 cups of flour = x batch of cupcakes

Cross multiplying, it becomes

13/10 × x = 13 × 1

13x/10 = 13

13x = 13 × 10 = 130

x = 130/13 = 10

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

X = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the value of x using Euclidean theorem

15^2 = 9 × x

225 = 9x divide both sides by 9

25 = x
