If y vaires directly with x and y= 12 when x= 15. What is the value of x when
y=16?

Answers

Answer 1

The value of x=20, according to the given question.

What is meant by equation?

A mathematical statement with two expressions that have the same value and the sign "equal to" between them is called an equation. Take the example of 3x + 5 = 15. Equations can be of several sorts, including linear, quadratic, cubic, and others.

According to the given data in the question,

We know that y varies directly with x like that,

y=kx..................(1)

y=12 when x=15.

Now, we have to find the value of x when y=16.

Then, putting the given values of x & y in the eq. (1), and determine the value of k.

12=k(15)

[tex]k=12/15\\k=4/5\\[/tex]

Now, putting the value of k in the second statement in eq.(1), where only y's value is given.

[tex]16=\frac{4}{5}x\\ x=16*\frac{5}{4} \\x=20[/tex]

Hence, the value of x=20.

month for the membership.

How many months would you have been with Anytime
Fitness if you paid a total of $321.91 ?

Answers

It would take 8 months of membership for the total money paid of $321.91.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables. A variable can either be dependent or independent. A dependent variable depend on other variable while an independent variable does not depend on other variables.

Let x be the number of months subscribed. Hence,

For Fitness :

Total payment = 33.99 x + 49.99

if you paid a total of $321.91 then the number of months subscribed will be;

321.91  = 33.99 x + 49.99

33.99 x = 321.91  - 49.99

33.99 x = 271.92

x = 271.92/33.99

x = 8

It would take 8 months of membership for the total money paid of $321.91.

the graph of f(x)=x^3+3x^2-4 is shown. what is the value of f^-1(-4)

Answers

Since the function is not one-to-one, the inverse function of f(x) = x³ + 3x² - 4 is not defined at x = -4.

How to obtain the numeric value of the inverse function?

An original function is composed by a set of points in the following format:

(x,y).

On the graph of the function, we have that:

The x-coordinate represents the input of the function, being the horizontal axis of the graph.The y-coordinate represents the output of the function, being the vertical axis of the graph.

On the inverse function, the input and the output are exchanged, hence the format of the point is:

(y,x).

To find the numeric value of the inverse function at x = -4, we need to identify the value of x on the original function where y = -4.

However, looking at the graph of the function given at the end of the answer, the function is not one-to-one at y = -4, since f(-3) = f(0) = 4, thus the inverse function is not defined at x = -4.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

The difference of ten times a number and six is fourteen.

Now, let's take the number to be x.

So, we have the following expression:

10x-6 = 14

Now, moving 6 from the left hand side to the right hand side will result in the change of the sign from minus to plus:

10x = 14+6

10x = 20

Given: ∠2≅∠3 Prove: ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary

Answers

The proof to the above diagram is ∠1 + ∠3 = 180

What are Supplementary angles?

Supplementary angles are angles whose sum equals 180°

If angle A + angle B = 180°, then both angles are said to be supplementary, meaning angle A is the supplement of Angle B.

∠2 ≅ ∠3. This means ∠2 is approximately equal to ∠3

Also ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°( sum of angles on a straight line)

making ∠2 the subject of the equation

∠2 = 180 - ∠1

But ∠2 ≅ ∠3, which we can say that ∠2 = ∠3

substituting ∠2 for ∠3 in the equation, we have

∠3 = 180 - ∠1

which is further simplified as,

∠1 + ∠3 = 180°

Which  means both angles are also supplementary.

In conclusion,  both angles are supplementary as ∠1 + ∠3 = 180

Answers

The pressure of the gas is 7kg/cm^2.

How to determine the pressure of the gas?

Joint Variation is a situation in which the value of one variable depends on two, or more, other variables when the other variables are held constant

Given that: The volume V of a fixed amount of a gas varies directly as the temperature T and inversely as the pressure P. This can be written as:

VαT and Vα 1/P

Combining the two relations gives:

Thus Vα T/P  

V = kT/P        (where k is a constant)

PV=kT

k = PV/T

P =kT/V

Given: V = 70 cm^3

when T = 420 kelvin

P = 18 kg/cm^2

k = 18×70 / 420

k = 1260/420

k = 3

Given: T = 140 kelvin and

V = 60 cm^3.

Find the pressure

P = kT/V

P = 3×140/60

= 420/60

= 7kg/cm^2

Therefore, the pressure when T = 140 kelvin and V = 60 cm^3 is 7kg/cm^2.

[tex]\overline{x} = 62.47, s = 19.2, n = 15[/tex]

Hence the test statistic is obtained as follows:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{62.47 - 60}{\frac{19.2}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

t = 0.49.

What are the p-value and the conclusion?

The p-value is obtained using a t-distribution calculator, with a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different a value, in this case 60, with:

15 - 1 = 14 df, as the number of degrees of freedom is one less than the sample size.t = 0.49, as obtained above.

Hence the p-value is of 0.6297.

How to determine the probability?

From the question, we have the following odd parameters

Odd = 8 to 9

To start with, we need to express the odd as ratio

So, we have the following representation

Odds ratio = 8 : 9

Solving further, we need to express the ratio as fraction

So, we have the following representation

Odds fraction = 8/9

To convert the above odd's expression to probability expression, we make use of the following equation

This is represented as

P = Odds/(Odds + 1)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

P = (8/9)/(8/9 + 1)

Evaluate the sum

This gives

P = (8/9)/(17/9)
