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}

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

It is p = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

p⁰=1 because it is basically saying and when simplifying fractional exponents we can flip the bottom exponent up to the top if we change the sign, leaving us with : (p⁵-p⁵)=p⁰

Show that sinxtanx=1-cos^2x/cosx
yawa3891 [41]
LHS: = \sin x \tan x =  \frac{\sin x \sin x }{\cos x} =  \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos x} (using \tan x =  \frac{\sin x}{\cos x})

We know \sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1 \Rightarrow \sin^2x=1-\cos^2x so we can replace the sin²x in the LHS expression as follows

\frac{\sin^2x}{\cos x} =  \frac{1-\cos^2x}{\cos x} which is the RHS.
