Answer:

m = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given w is inversely proportional to m then the equation relating them is

w = $\frac{k}{m}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition w = 8, m = 25 , then

8 = $\frac{k}{25}$ ( multiply both sides by 25 )

200 = k

w = $\frac{200}{m}$ ← equation of variation

When w = 20 , then

20 = $\frac{200}{m}$ ( multiply both sides by m )

20m = 200 ( divide both sides by 20 )

m = 10

For this case we have an equation in which we must apply operations to rewrite it in an equivalent way. We must start by raising both sides of the equation to the square. Thus, we eliminate the square root of the left side of equality and finally solve the binomial of the right side of equality.

So we have:

$\sqrt {x ^ 2 + 81} = x + 10\\(\sqrt {x ^ 2 + 81}) ^ 2 = (x + 10) ^ 2\\x ^ 2 + 81 = (x + 10) ^ 2$

By definition: $(a + b) ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + 2ab + b ^ 2$

$x ^ 2 + 81 = x ^ 2 + 2 (x) (10) + (10) ^ 2\\x ^ 2 + 81 = x ^ 2 + 20x +100$

Thus, $x ^ 2 + 81 = x ^ 2 + 20x +100$ is equivalent to $\sqrt {x ^ 2 + 81} = x + 10$

Answer:

$x ^ 2 + 81 = x ^ 2 + 20x +100$

Answer:

Option: B

There are three times as many participants in the 40-59 age group than in the 0-19 age group.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the histogram we have following observations:

Number of people in the age group 0-19= 20

Number of people in the age group 20-39=40

Number of people in the age group 40-59=60

Number of people in the age group 60-79=50

Hence, from the data we could say that there are three times as many participants in the 40-59 age group( which is 60) than in the 0-19 age group(which is 20).

Hence, option B is correct.
