Algebra.Com's Answer #102027 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A is directly proportional to B. \n" ); document.write( "A = kB \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "When A is 7, B is 2. \n" ); document.write( "Use this information to solve for \"k\": \n" ); document.write( "7 = k*2 \n" ); document.write( "k = 7/2 \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Therefore the equations that relates A and B is A = (7/2)B \n" ); document.write( "What is B when A is 10? \n" ); document.write( "10 = (7/2)B \n" ); document.write( "B = 20/7 \n" ); document.write( "=========================== \n" ); document.write( "Next Problem:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P is inversely proportional to Q \n" ); document.write( "P = k/Q \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "P is 5 when Q is (1/10) \n" ); document.write( "5 = k/(1/10) \n" ); document.write( "k = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "EQUATION: \n" ); document.write( "P = 1/(2Q) \n" ); document.write( "What is P when Q is 0.01? \n" ); document.write( "P = 1/(0.02) \n" ); document.write( "P = 50 \n" ); document.write( "============ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
