The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas. A container of helium has a volume of 370in3 u

nder a pressure of 15psi (pounds per square inch). Write the equation that relates the volume, V, to the pressure, P. What would be the volume of this gas if the pressure was increased to 25psi?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables vary inversely, it means that an increase in one would lead to a decrease in the other and vice versa. Since the volume of a gas, V in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas, P, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression would be

V = k/P

If V = 370 in³ and P = 15psi, then

370 = k/15

k = 370 × 15 = 5550

The equation that relates the volume, V, to the pressure, P would be

V = 5550/P

if the pressure was increased to 25psi, the volume would be

V = 5550/25 = 222 in³

A]
Exponential function is given by the form:
y=a(b)ˣ
where:
a=initial value
b=growth factor
From the question:
a=$8000, b=1.015, 
thus the exponential growth function of this situation is:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ

b] The value of the collection after 7 years will be:
x=7 years
Using the formula:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ
plugging the values we get:
y=8000(1.015)⁷
y=8,878.76

Answer: $8,878.76

Consider the function represented by the equation y-6x-9=0. Which answer shows the equation written in function notation with x
spin [16.1K]

we have

y-6x-9=0

Step 1

<u>Clear the variable y</u>

y-6x-9=0

Adds (6x+9) both sides

y-6x-9+(6x+9)=0+(6x+9)

y=(6x+9)

Step 2

<u>Convert in function notation</u>

Let

f(x)=y

f(x)=(6x+9)

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

f(x)=(6x+9)

Marley drives to work every day and passes two independently operated traffic lights. The probability that both lights are red i
madam [21]
Let event A be the first light being red.
Let event B be the second light being red.

P(A) = 0.48
P(A & B) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.35

P(B) = 0.35 / P(A)
P(B) = 0.35 / 0.48
P(B) = 0.73

Since the lights are independent, P(B|A) = P(B) therefore d is the correct answer.

20 points<br> What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

F(x) = 2/3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I found this out by first starting off with the equation, f(x) = mx + b. (b is the y intercept, m is the slope.) The y intercept, where the line passes through the y axis, is 3. (f(x) = mx + 3) Now, look at rise over run, and see that the slope is 2/3, since for every one it goes over, it goes up 2/3. your final equation is f(x) = 2/3x + 3
