Cevap: 30

Cevap

The value of

P

is 30.

The relationship follows the partial variation formula

P = k_1 x + k_2 y^2

. Substituting the given conditions gives

2k_1 + 9k_2 = 24

and

5k_1 + k_2 = 17

. Solving these simultaneous equations yields

k_1 = 3

and

k_2 = 2

. Evaluating

P = 3(4) + 2(3^2)

produces

12 + 18 = 30

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the general formula for partial variation.

P = k_1 x + k_2 y^2

, where

k_1

and

k_2

are constants.

Partial variation combines terms linearly with separate variation constants.

2

Substitute the given pairs of values to form simultaneous linear equations.

Equation (1):

2k_1 + 9k_2 = 24

; Equation (2):

5k_1 + k_2 = 17

.

Plugging in

(x=2, y=3, P=24)

and

(x=5, y=1, P=17)

creates a system of equations in terms of

k_1

and

k_2

.

3

Solve the simultaneous linear equations for

k_1

and

k_2

.

From Equation (2),

k_2 = 17 - 5k_1

. Substitute into Equation (1):

2k_1 + 9(17 - 5k_1) = 24 \implies -43k_1 = -129 \implies k_1 = 3

. Then

k_2 = 17 - 5(3) = 2

.

Finding the specific values of the variation constants is required to complete the formula.

4

Calculate

P

for

x = 4

and

y = 3

using the complete formula

P = 3x + 2y^2

.

P = 3(4) + 2(3^2) = 12 + 2(9) = 12 + 18 = 30

.

Evaluating the relationship with the target parameters produces the final answer.

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The value of

y

when

x = 8

is 3.

Since

y

varies inversely as

x

, the formula connecting them is

y = \frac{k}{x}

. Substituting

y = 6

when

x = 4

gives

6 = \frac{k}{4}

, which yields

k = 24

. Using this constant, when

x = 8

,

y = \frac{24}{8} = 3

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the relationship for inverse variation.

y = \frac{k}{x}

Inverse variation means

y

is inversely proportional to

x

, where

k

is the constant of variation.

2

Substitute given values

y = 6

and

x = 4

to solve for

k

.

6 = \frac{k}{4} \implies k = 6 \times 4 = 24

To complete the equation of variation, the constant

k

must be determined.

3

Substitute

k = 24

and

x = 8

into the variation equation to find

y

.

y = \frac{24}{8} = 3

Evaluating the relationship at

x = 8

Cevap: 28

Cevap

The value of

y

when

x = 8

is 28.

By representing partial variation as

y = c + kx

, substituting the given conditions gives two simultaneous linear equations:

10 = c + 2k

and

19 = c + 5k

. Subtracting the first equation from the second yields

3k = 9

, so

k = 3

. Substituting

k = 3

back into the first equation yields

c = 4

. The general equation is

y = 4 + 3x

. Evaluating at

x = 8

gives

y = 4 + 3(8) = 28

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the partial variation equation

y = c + kx

, where

c

is the constant part and

k

is the constant of variation.

Partial variation consists of a fixed term plus a variable term.

2

Substitute given values to form simultaneous equations

Equation 1:

10 = c + 2k

19 = c + 5k

Two pairs of

(x, y)

values are provided to solve for the two unknown constants

c

and

k

Thus,

y = 4 + 3x

k

, which is then used to find

c

The electrical resistance $R$ of a wire varies directly as its length $L$ and inversely as the square of its diameter $d$ . If a wire of length $36\text{ m}$ and diameter $3\text{ mm}$ has a resistance of $16\ \Omega$ , what is the resistance, in ohms, of a wire of the same material with a length of $45\text{ m}$ and a diameter of $5\text{ mm}$ ?

The resistance of the wire is 7.2 ohms.

The equation governing the relation is

R = \frac{kL}{d^2}

. Substituting the initial parameters

R=16\ \Omega

,

L=36\text{ m}

, and

d=3\text{ mm}

gives

16 = \frac{36k}{9} = 4k

with the new dimensions

L=45\text{ m}

and

d=5\text{ mm}

What is the operational cost in Naira when $r = 20\text{ L/s}$ and $h = 3\text{ m}$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 668

Cevap

The operational cost when

r = 20

and

h = 3

is 668 Naira.

The partial and joint variation relationship is defined by

C = k_1 + k_2 r h^2

. Substituting the two given states gives the simultaneous equations

620 = k_1 + 160k_2

and

380 = k_1 + 60k_2

. Subtracting these equations gives

100k_2 = 240

, so

k_2 = 2.4

. Substituting

k_2 = 2.4

into the second equation yields

k_1 = 236

. Finally, evaluating

C

for

r = 20

and

h = 3

gives

C = 236 + 2.4(20)(3^2) = 236 + 432 = 668

Form simultaneous linear equations using the given data points

620 = k_1 + 160k_2

and (2)

380 = k_1 + 60k_2

gives

10 \times 4^2 = 160

Solve for the constants

k_1

The relationship is modeled by partial variation

C = k_1 + k_2 h^2

. Solving the simultaneous equations derived from

h = 3

(

C = 5500

) and

h = 5

(

C = 13500

) yields

k_2 = 500

and

k_1 = 1000

. Substituting

C = 33000

into

33000 = 1000 + 500 h^2

gives

500 h^2 = 32000

, so

h^2 = 64

, which yields

h = 8

hours.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the general formula for partial variation.

C = k_1 + k_2 h^2

, where

k_1

and

k_2

are constants.

The cost consists of a constant part (

k_1

) and a part that varies directly as the square of daily hours (

k_2 h^2

).

2

Form simultaneous linear equations using the given data points.

Equation (1):

5500 = k_1 + 9 k_2

Equation (2):

13500 = k_1 + 25 k_2

Substitute

h = 3, C = 5500

and

h = 5, C = 13500

into the variation equation.

3

Solve for the variation constants

k_1

and

k_2

.

Subtract Equation (1) from Equation (2):

8000 = 16 k_2 \implies k_2 = 500

.
Substitute

k_2 = 500

into Equation (1):

5500 = k_1 + 9(500) \implies k_1 = 1000

.

Eliminating

k_1

gives

k_2

, which is then used to find the constant part

k_1

.

Calculate

h

when

C = 33000

.

33000 = 1000 + 500 h^2 \implies 32000 = 500 h^2 \implies h^2 = 64 \implies h = 8

hours.

Substitute the values of

Cevap: $\text{N}220,000$

Cevap

\text{N}220,000

In partial variation, the total cost

C

is represented by

C = k_1 + k_2 n

. Subtracting the two linear equations

70,000 = k_1 + 500 k_2

and

140,000 = k_1 + 1,200 k_2

gives

700 k_2 = 70,000

, so

k_2 = 100

. Substituting

k_2 = 100

yields the fixed constant

k_1 = 20,000

. Substituting

n = 2,000

into

C = 20,000 + 100n

yields

20,000 + 200,000 = \text{N}220,000

The resistance of the wire is

The variation model is

R = \frac{k L}{d^2}

R = 5\text{ ohms}

The electric power $P$ dissipated in a resistor varies directly as the square of the current $I$ flowing through it. If a current of $3\text{ A}$ produces a power of $45\text{ W}$ , what is the power dissipated, in watts, when the current is $5\text{ A}$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 125

Cevap

The power dissipated when the current is 5 A is 125 W.

Because electric power varies directly as the square of the current, the formula is

P = k I^2

. Substituting the initial conditions gives

45 = k(3^2) = 9k

, so

k = 5

. Evaluating at

I = 5\text{ A}

gives

P = 5(5^2) = 125\text{ W}

Calculate the required power for
