The value of x when y is 8 is 9.75.

It is given that

y ∝ 1/x

y = k/x......(1)

Where k is a constant of proportionality

<h3>What is the constant of proportionality?</h3>

The constant of proportionality is the ratio that relates two given values.

When y =13, x=6

Means, 13 = k/6

k = 78

Putting the value of k in equation (1)

y = 78/ x

8 = 78/ x

x =9.75

Therefore, The value of x when y is 8 is 9.75.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Option D) 340

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = $47

Margin of error = 5

95% Confidence Interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\text{Margin of error} = z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

5 = 1.96(\dfrac{47}{\sqrt{n}} )\\\\\sqrt{n} = \dfrac{47\times 1.96}{5}\\\\n = 339.443776\\\Rightarrow n \approx 340

Thus, the correct answer is

Option D) 340

Can someone help me lol, I need to learn this ASAP step by step
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. distribute the X to the X in the parenthesis and you get 2x. Then distribute the X to the -7 in the parenthesis and you get -7x. Combine like terms so that would be 2x-7x and you get -5x.

C. distribute the 6x to the X in the parenthesis and you get 7x. Then distribute the 6x to the 2 in parenthesis and you get 8x. Combine like terms so that would be 7x+8x and you get 15x.

E. Not sure on this one, sorry.
