If x varies inversley as y and x=4 when y =8, find x when y=1

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y vary inversely, then xy = k where k is the constant of proportion

4(8) = 32 = k

Now, xy = 32

         1(x) = 32

           x = 32

Find the slope of the line passing through points -2, 2 and 2, 0
Ymorist [56]
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

We can find the slope by using the slope formula. Also know rise over run.

\large \bold{m =  \frac{rise}{run} }

m =  \frac{2 - 0}{ - 2 - 2}  \\ m =  \frac{2}{ - 4}  \\ m =  -  \frac{1}{2}

From the slope-intercept y = mx+b.

\large \bold {m = slope } \\  \large \bold {b = y - intercept }

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

\large \boxed { -  \frac{1}{2} }

The roots of 2x^2-3x=4 are a and b. Find the simplest quadratic equation which has roots 1/a and 1/b
Tju [1.3M]
Find the roots

solve
we use hmm, completing the suare
2(x²-1.5x)=4
divide both sides by 2
x²-1.5x=2
take 1/2 of linear coeiftn and square it
-1.5/2=-0.75, (-0.75)²=0.5625
add that to both sides
x²-1.5x+0.5625=2+0.5625
factor perfect squaer trinomial
(x-0.75)²=2.5625
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative square roots
x-0.75=+/-√2.5625
add 0.75 to both sides
x=0.75+/-√2.5625

the roots are x=0.75+√2.5625 and x=0.75-√2.5625

1/a and 1/b
1/(0.75+√2.5625) and 1/(0.75-√2.5625)

if the roots of a quadratic equation are r1 and r2 then it factors to
(x-r1)(x-r2)
so then we can factor our equation to be
(x-\frac{1}{0.75+\sqrt{2.5625}})(x-\frac{1}{0.75-\sqrt{2.5625}})

if we were to try and expand it, we would get
x²+0.75x-0.5
that's the simpliest equation with roots 1/a and 1/b where a and b are he roots of 2x²-3x=4


x²+0.75x-0.5 is answer

Answer:

Well a linear equation is in a straight line.  To show it was not linear on a coordinate grid the slope would not be a straight line
