$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{time it takes to fill a tank varies inversely with the water rate}\\\\
t=\cfrac{k}{w}\quad 
\begin{cases}
t=\textit{time to fill}\\
w=\textit{water rate}
\end{cases}$

$\bf \textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
w=\stackrel{g/min}{8}\\
t=\stackrel{min}{45}
\end{cases}\implies 45=\cfrac{k}{8}\implies 360=k
\\\\\\
therefore\qquad \boxed{t=\cfrac{360}{w}}
\\\\\\
\textit{now if w = 15, what is \underline{t}?}\qquad t=\cfrac{360}{15}$

You’ve been asked to order cake for your school dance. Here’s a formula for the scenario: z=xa/y

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The number of cake for order is 15 cakes .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of people to attend the dance = x = 60

The number of slices each person will eat = A = 2 slices

The number of slices per cake = y = 8 slices

Let The number of cake for order = z

<u>Now, According to question</u>

Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = total number of people × number of slices each person will eat

i.e Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = x × A

Or, Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = 60 × 2 slices

Or,Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = 120 slices

<u>Again</u>

∵ number of slices per cake = 8

∴ The number of cake for order = $\dfrac{\textrm Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices}{\textrm number of slices per cake }$

Or, z = $\frac{x\times A}{y}$

i.e z = $\frac{120}{8}$

∴ z = 15 cakes

So,The number of cake for order = z = 15 cakes

Hence,The number of cake for order is 15 cakes . Answer

Answer:

$a_n=(1-n)2^n+3^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct down to the part where you add the partial results:

$a_n=a_n^h+a_n^p=A3^n+B2^n-n2^n\\\text{Using the given starter values, we can find A, B:}\\a_0=2=A\\a_1=7=3A+2B+2\\\text{has solution A=1, B=1, so ...}\\\\a_n=3^n+2^n-n2^n$
