Question 469956: I am so confused on this one. Please help. Thank you.
For the function given by the equation d=Cn^-2 can be used to determine the diameter size of the carburetor's opening, d, in millimeters, where n is the number of rpm's at which the engine achieves peak performance and C is a constant.
A. Solve the equation d=Cn^-2 for n.
B. Suppose the carburetor's opening is 84mm and rpm's are 4480. Find the value of C that makes the equation true.
C. Use the value of C that you found to determine the rpm's at which the engine produces peak power when the carburetor's opening is 81mm.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! For the function given by the equation d=Cn^-2 can be used to determine the diameter size of the carburetor's opening, d, in millimeters, where n is the number of rpm's at which the engine achieves peak performance and C is a constant.
A. Solve the equation d=Cn^-2 for n.
---
d = C/n^2
n^2 = C/d
n = sqrt[C/d)
--------------------
B. Suppose the carburetor's opening is 84mm and rpm's are 4480. Find the value of C that makes the equation true.
---
C = d*n^2
C = 84*4480^2 = 1,685,913,600
------------------------------------
C. Use the value of C that you found to determine the rpm's at which the engine produces peak power when the carburetor's opening is 81mm.
----
n = sqrt[C/d]
n = Sqrt[1,685,913,600/81]
n = 13686.63 rpm
