If (x - 4) varies inversely as (y + 3) and x = 8 when y = 2, what is x when y = - 1?

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if (x-4) and (y+3) vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of x-4 and y+3.

Let x=8 and y=2 as given in the problem. Substitute values:

(8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20

Hence, the maintained product is 20.

Thus, we have the following equation:

(x-4)(y+3)=20

Substitute y=-1 to find the value of x when y=-1:

(x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}

Lisa’s age is 4 years older than three times sammy’s Age. Lisa is 28 years old let s represent sammy’s Age
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Sammy is 8 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3s + 4 = 28 is the equation you need to use you have to get s on its own to find Sammy's age

3s + 4 = 28    subtract 4 from both sides

3s = 24      divide both sides by 3

s = 8      Sammy is 8 years old

Let f(x)=18/1+3^e-0.1x What is the point of maximum growth rate for the logistic function f(x)? Show all work. Round your answer
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(0, 4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

*The equation can be put into Desmos, to find the point, but the work to prove it is here*

f(x)=c/1+Ae^-Bx

Y=C

C=18      A=3      -B=-0.1

*Replace x with 0 in the equation, so you know 0 is the x value, and it leads you to the y value*

f(0)=18/1+3e^-o.1(0)

= 18/1+3e^0

=18/1+3(1)

=18/1+3

=18/4

=4.5

x=0    y=4.5

Maximum growth rate = (x,y) --> (0, 4.5)

Hope this helps:))!!
