y varies inversely as x. If y=4 when x=15, find y when x=12

Answers

Answer 1

The value of y given the inverse relationship is 5.

What is the value of y?

If two variables vary inversely, as one variable increases, the other decreases in value.

The equation that is used to represent inverse relationship is:

y = k/x

Where k is the constant of proportionality

k = yx

k = 4 x 15 = 60

y = 60 / 12

y = 5

Alisha buys 200 books costing £3 each.

She sells 2/5 of the books at £8 each.
Alisha then reduces the price of the remaining books by a quarter.
She then sells some of the remaining books.
Alisha makes £490 profit.
Work out how many books Alisha did not sell?

Answers

The number of books Alisha did not sell after making a profit of £490 is 45 books

How to find how many book she sell base on the profit?

She buys 200 books costing £3 each.

Therefore,

cost = 3 × 200 = £600

Hence,

She sells 2/5 of the books at £8 each.

total amount = 2 / 5 of 200 × 8

total amount = 80 × 8

total amount = £640

Alisha then reduces the price of the remaining books by a quarter.

She then sells some of the remaining books.

Therefore,

the remaining book = 120

She sold some of the remaining books.

profit = selling price - cost price

490  = selling price - 600

selling price = 490 + 600

selling price = £1090

Therefore,

the cost of the remaining book she sold = 1090 - 640 = £450

Hence,

let

x = number of book sold

6(x) = 450

x = 450 / 6

x = 75

The number book she did not sell = 120 - 75 = 45

To see why no one noticed time dilation until the twentieth century, consider the time dilation of a clock in an automobile moving past you at 30m / s (about 67mph for reference). What happens when you try to compute gamma for this problem? Write out the steps you take.

(PLLS)!!!

Answers

When we try to compute gamma, for this problem, the value of gamma is 1

To answer the question, we need to know what time dilation is.

What is time dilation?

Time dilation is a phenomenon in special relativity in which there is an elongation of time due to the motion of an object.

Now, the time is given by t = γt₀ where

γ = gamma = 1/√[1 - (v/c)²] where v = speed of object  c = speed of light and t₀ = proper timeThe value of gamma

Since we need to compute gamma when the speed of the automobile moving past you is 30 m/s.

Given that

v = 30 m/s and c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Substiting these into γ, we have

γ = 1/√[1 - (v/c)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (30 m/s/3 × 10⁸ m/s)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (1/1 × 10⁷)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (1 × 10⁻⁷)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (1 × 10⁻¹⁴)]

γ = 1/√[1 - 0.00000000000001]

γ = 1/√0.99999999999999

γ = 1/1

γ = 1

Find the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function. (5 points) f(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 9

Answers

Considering the definition of axis of symmetry, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

Axis of symmetry

An axis of symmetry is an imaginary reference line that, when dividing any shape into two parts, its opposite points are equidistant from each other, that is, they are symmetrical.

In other words, the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.

The axis of symmetry is the line perpendicular to the "x" axis that contains the vertex of the function, that is, it always passes through the vertex of the parabola. So the x-coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry.

That is, in a quadratic function that has the form:

f(x)= ax² + bx + c

the axis of symmetry is a vertical line and it is defined as [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex].

Axis of symmetry of f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 9

In this case, you know:

a= 3b=12c=9

Replacing in the definition of axis of symmetry:

[tex]x=\frac{-12}{2x3}[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]x=\frac{-12}{6}[/tex]

x= -2

Finally, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

How do we calculate the standard deviation of data?

The following notations and formulas will be used in these calculations:

Mean = (sum of the values) / n

Variance = ((Σ(x - mean)^2) / (n - 1)

Standard deviation = Variance^0.5

Where:

n = number of values = 4

x = each value

Therefore, we have:

Mean = (65 + 75 + 100 + 130) / 4 = 92.50

Variance = ((65-92.5-)^2 + (75-92.50)^2 + (100-92.50)^2 + (130-92.50)^2) / (4-1) =  2,525 / 3 = 841.666666666667

Answers

The angle the longer chain makes with the ceiling is 38.5°

The two chains and ceiling form a triangle and with two sides and an angle, we use the sine rule to find the other angle

What is the sine rule?

The sine rule states in any triangle with sides a, b, c and angles A, B and C, repsectively, we have that

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

Since one chain is 46cm long and forms an angle of 60° with the ceiling. the other chain 64cm long. So, we find the other angle.

So, a/sinA = b/sinB  where

a = 46 cm, b = 64 cmA = other angleB = 60°The value of the other angle

Making A subject of the formula, we have

A = sin⁻¹(asinB/b)

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

A = sin⁻¹(asinB/b)

A = sin⁻¹(46 cm × sin60/64 cm)

A = sin⁻¹(46 cm × 0.8660/64 cm)

A = sin⁻¹(39.84 cm/64 cm)

A = sin⁻¹(0.6225)

A = 38.49°

A ≅ 38.5°

So, the angle the longer chain makes with the ceiling is 38.5°

A new pizza restaurant uses paid advertisement to increase pizza sales on Mondays. The table below is a record of the restaurant’s sales each Monday for the first quarter (13 weeks) of the paid advertisement.

Part A: Create a scatter plot to represent the data in the table. Then, draw the line of best fit, going through the points representing weeks 5 and 13. Be sure to label each axis, as well as to include the proper titles for the scatter plot.
Part B: Use the total sales for weeks 5 and 13 to write an equation for the line of best fit. In your final answer, include all of your calculations.
Part C: In terms of the slope of the equation for the lines of best, fit explain whether or not you think the paid advertisement is responsible for the restaurant's increase or decrease in pizza sales during the first quarter. Use complete senteneces in your answer.
Part D: Assuming that the pizza restaurant wishes to continue the paid advertisement for an additional quater, use the equation for the line of best fit to predict the restaurant's sales for the Monday of the 20th week.

Answers

An equation for the line of best fit is given by y = 22.214x + 291.27.The paid advertisement is responsible for the restaurant's increase in pizza sales during the first quarter because the slope of the equation for the line of best fit is positive.The restaurant's sales for the Monday of the 20th week is $735.55.

What is a scatter plot?

A scatter plot can be defined as a type of graph which is used for the graphical representation of the values of two variables, with the resulting points showing any association (correlation) between the data set.

What is a line of best fit?

A line of best fit is also referred to as a trendline and it can be defined as a statistical (analytical) tool that is used in conjunction with a scatter plot, in order to determine whether or not there's any correlation between a data.

Part B.

By critically observing the graph (see attachment) which models the data in the given table, we can infer and logically deduce that an equation for the line of best fit is given by:

y = 22.214x + 291.27

Part C.

Since the slope of the equation for the line of best fit is positive, the paid advertisement is responsible for the restaurant's increase in pizza sales during the first quarter.

Part D.

Next, we would predict the restaurant's sales for the Monday of the 20th week as follows:

y = 22.214x + 291.27

y = 22.214(20) + 291.27
