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

The equation looks like this \frac{ x^{2} }{16} + \frac{ y^{2} }{25} =1.  In an ellipse, a is always the bigger value, so a^2 = 25.  This bigger value also tells us which axis is the major one.  Sine the bigger value a is under the y^2 of the equation, the major axis is the y-axis.  This is a vertical ellipse.  The center is always found within a set of parenthesis that exist with the x^2 and the y^2.  Since there are no parenthesis with either, there is no side to side movement, nor is there any up or down movement.  So the center doesn't move from the origin (0, 0).  The vertex is also along the major axis, and if a^2 is 25, then a = 5, so the vertices go up 5 from the center and down 5 from the center.  Vertices are (0, 5) and (0, -5).  The foci follow the formula c^{2}= a^{2}- b^{2}.  c is the distance that the foci are from the center.  c^{2}=25-16 and c = 3.  The foci also lie on the major axis, so the coordinates for the foci are (0, 3) and (0, -3).  There you go!

Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has a $24 monthly fee
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

600 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If we write both situations as an equation, we get:

y1 = 24 + 0.15x

<em>y1 </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>total </em><em>cost </em><em>paid </em><em>in </em><em>first </em><em>plan</em>

<em>x </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>total minutes </em><em>of </em><em>calls</em>

y2 = 0.19x

<em>y2 </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>total </em><em>cost </em><em>in </em><em>second </em><em>plan</em>

<em>x:</em><em> </em><em>total </em><em>min</em><em>utes </em><em>of </em><em>call</em>

We are now looking for the situation where the total cost in the two plans is equal, so

y1 = y2

this gives

24 + 0.15x = 0.19x

<=> 0.04x = 24

<=> x = 600

4. JKLM is a parallelogram. Find JM.<br> J<br> к<br> 8x + 4<br> 4x + 20<br> M<br> L
madam [21]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 4 = 4x + 20

8x - 4x = 20 - 4

4x = 16 divide both sides by 4

x = 4 and JM = 8x + 4 replace x with 4

8×4 + 4 = 36
