Eddi Din [679]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

k = 40 and y = \frac{40}{x}

k = 33 and  y = \frac{33}{x}

k = 5000 and y = \frac{5000}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y varies inversely with x.

This is represented as:

y =\frac{k}{x}

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

(a): y = 8\ when\ x= 5

This gives:

8 =\frac{k}{5}

k = 8 * 5

k = 40 --  the constant of proportionality.

To calculate the function, substitute 40 for k in y =\frac{k}{x}

y = \frac{40}{x}

(b): y= 3\ when\ x = 11

This gives:

3 =\frac{k}{11}

k = 3 * 11

k = 33 --  the constant of proportionality.

To calculate the function, substitute 33 for k in y =\frac{k}{x}

y = \frac{33}{x}

(c): y= 50\ when\ x = 100

This gives:

50 =\frac{k}{100}

k = 50 * 100

k = 5000 --  the constant of proportionality.

To calculate the function, substitute 5000 for k in y =\frac{k}{x}

y = \frac{5000}{x}

A friend has a 83% average before the final exam for a course. That score includes everything but the final, which counts for 25
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\mathrm{Best\:course\:grade\:possible:\:}87.25\%,\\\mathrm{Minimum\:score\:on\:final\:to\:earn\:at\:least\:a\:75\%\:for\:the\:course:\:}51\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the maximum score for the final is 100\%, we can multiply each score by its respective course weight and add them together to give a final score. If your friend did receive this maximum score of 100\%, their overall grade for the course would be:

83(1-0.25)+100(0.25)=\fbox{$87.25\%$}.

To find the minimum score they need to earn a 75% for the course, we set up the following equation:

83(1-0.25)+x(0.25)=75, where x is the minimum score she needs.

Solving, we get:

62.25+x(0.25)=75,\\x(0.25)=12.75,\\x=\fbox{$51\%$}.
