Answer:

u = 3.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to solve:

$\frac{8}{6}= \frac{5}{u}$

Cross multiply:

8u = 30

Divide both sides by 8:

3.75 cm

Round to nearest tenth:

3.8 cm

G(-3) = -3-7 = -10;
f(g(-3))=f(-10) = 2 x (-10) + 5 = - 20 + 5 = -15.

Answer:

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation from the table given

We can write equation in the form of $y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope

We can used the slope formula to find slope: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the table we have: $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=7, y_2=-2$

Putting values and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-2-(-5)}{7-3} \\Slope=\frac{-2+5}{7-3}\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

So, we get slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$

Now, finding y-intercept

Using the slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and point (3,-5) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\-5=\frac{3}{4}(3)+b\\-5=\frac{9}{4}+b\\b=-5-\frac{9}{4}\\b=\frac{-5*4-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-20-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-29}{4}$

The y-intercept is $b=\frac{-29}{4}$

So, the equation having slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and y-intercept $b=\frac{-29}{4}$ will be:

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}$

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$

The temperature, T , of a given mass of gas varies inversely with its volume, V . The temperature of a certain gas with volume o

alekssr [168]

We know that

if t<span>he temperature T of a given mass of gas varies inversely with its volume V
</span>then
T=k/V

Step 1
Find the value of k
for T=30º C and V=105 cm³
we have
T=k/V--------> k=T*V--------> k=30*105=3150 °C*cm³

therefore
for V=84 cm³
T=3150/84=37.5 °C

the answer is 37.5 °C
