Step-by-step explanation:

to divide by a fraction is the same as to multiply by the upside-down fraction.

in your example

4 / 2/5 = 4 × 5/2 = 20/2 = 10

by the way, also a whole number is a fraction.

4 = 4/1

so, fully formal, the whole operation above looks like

(4/1) / (2/5) = (4/1) × (5/2) = (4×5) / (1×2) = 20/2 = 10/1 = 10

Explain why a graphical display might be skewed. How do you ensure data isn’t skewed?

Leno4ka [110]

Sample Response: If the data is collected in a biased manner, the graph could be skewed. Also, if the number of observations is too small, the graph can be skewed. To ensure the data is not skewed, collect a large representative unbiased sample

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = x^2 when f(x) is changed to f(x − 6)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The comparison graph is also attached in 3rd figure. In the 3rd figure, the graph with vertex (0, 0) is representing $f(x) = x^2$ and $\:f\left(x\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$ is represented as being shifted 6 units to the right as compare to the function $f(x) = x^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

When we Add or subtract a positive constant, let say c, to input x, it would be a horizontal shift.

For example:

Type of change Effect on y = f(x)

$y = f(x - c)$ horizontal shift: c units to right

Considering the function

$f(x) = x^2$

The graph is shown below. The first figure is representing $f(x) = x^2$ .

Now, considering the function

$\:f\left(x\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$

According to the rule, as we have discussed above, as a positive constant 6 is added to the input, so there is a horizontal shift, 6 units to the right.

The graph of $\:f\left(x-6\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$ is shown below in second figure. It is clear that the graph of $\:f\left(x-6\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$ is shifted 6 units to the right as compare to the function $f(x) = x^2$ .

Please help with this question, I need the help urgently

Answer:

P in terms of V is:

P = 432/V

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that y varies inversely as x, we get the equation

y ∝ 1/x

y = k/x

k = yx

where k is called the constant of proportionality.

In our case,

P is inversely proportional to V

Given

P = 18

V = 24

P = k/V

k = PV

substituting P = 18 and V = 24 to determine k

k = 18 × 24

k = 432

now substituting k = 432 in P = k/V

P = 432/V

Therefore, P in terms of V is:

P = 432/V
