Answer:

y = - \frac{28}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 7 when x = - 4, then

7 = \frac{k}{-4} ( multiply both sides by - 4 )

- 28 = k

y = \frac{-28}{x} ← equation of variation

When x = 5 , then

y = \frac{-28}{5} = - \frac{28}{5}

masya89 [10]
Answer: It will take 7 stages for all 19,530 families to be called.

In the first stage, only 5 families are called.

In the second stage, we would have 5 x 5 = 25 families being called.

In the third stage, we would have 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 families being called.
We can use exponents to finish the list and see when our goal is reached.

4th stage: 5^4 = 625

5th stage: 5^5 = 3125

6th stage: 5^6 = 15625

7th stage: 5^7 = 78,125

REY [17]
To find the area of the triangle, you will need to know the length of the base and there length of the height.

You can find both of these by using the circles that are given.

If the total length of the circles is 35 cm, then each circle has a length of 7 cm. If these are circles, then each circle has a height of 7 cm also.

A = 1/2 x b x h
1/2 x (4x7) x (2x7)
A = 196 square cm
