y varies inversely with x.
Example:
If we multiply x by 2 we need to divide y by 2 too.
So,
If y = 16 and x = 1/2, find y when x = 32
Lets see, from 1/2 to 32 e need to multiply 1/2 by 64, right? So let's divide 16 by 64.
16/64 = 8/32 = 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4
So we can say that:
If y = 16 when x = 1/2, y = 1/4 when x = 32.
Answer: Number of College Faculty The number of faculty listed for a variety of private colleges which offer only bachelor’s degrees is listed below. Use these data to construct a frequency distribution with 7 classes, a histogram, a frequency polygon, and an ogive. Discuss the shape of this distribution. What proportion of schools have 180 or more faculty? 165 221 218 206 138 135 224 204 70 210 207 154 155 82 120 116 176 162 225 214 93 389 77 135 221 161 128 310 Source
If you're asking for extrema, like the previous posting
well
like the previous posting, since this rational is identical, just that the denominator is negative, the denominator yields no critical points
and the numerator, yields no critical points either, so the only check you can do is for the endpoints, of 0 and 4
f(0) = 0 <---- only maximum, and thus absolute maximum
f(4) ≈ - 0.19 <---- only minimum, and thus absolute minimum
Where are the answer choices and the rest of the question?
Given:
grams of fat : 34 grams TO weight of woman : 102 pounds
grams of fat : ? TO weight of woman : 180 pounds
This is a proportion problem: 34 grams to 102 pounds.
We first have to convert a unit of measure to another to maintain uniformity of measure. let us convert pounds to grams:
102 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 46,266.384 grams
180 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 81,646.560 grams
34 grams to 46,266.384 grams = x grams to 81,646.560 grams
proportion: a:b = c:d where ad = bc
34 grams * 81,646.560 grams = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² ÷ 46,266.384 grams = x
60 grams = x
A woman weighing 180 pounds should eat 60 grams of fat to maintain her weight.
