Answer:

y = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 23 when x = 8 , then

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

184 = k

y = $\frac{184}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 4 , then

y = $\frac{184}{4}$ = 46

Consider Akelia’s sequence 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, ….

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

It would be 20

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, the sequence starts from 5 and increases by three each time. In fact, one possible formula for that sequence could be:

$a_n=3n+2\hspace{10}n\in N$

Let's confirm the formula by evaluating the first 6 terms:

$a_1=3(1)+2=3+2=5\\a_2=3(2)+2=6+2=8\\a_3=3(3)+2=9+2=11\\a_4=3(4)+2=12+2=14\\a_5=3(5)+2=15+2=17\\a_6=3(6)+2=18+2=20$
