y is inversely proportional to x. y = 0.04 when x = 80. Find the value of y when x = 32.

If y is inversely proportional to x. We know that y=k/x for some constant k. We need to find this constant before continuing. Looking at the information given to us in the question we know for one example...

solve the simultaneous equations 8x + 2y = 48 , 14x + 6y = 94

Step 1) Rearrange the first equation to make y the subject: 8x + 2y = 48 , 2y = 48 - 8x , y = 24 - 4x. step 2) Sub y = 23 - 4x into the second equation: 14x + 6(24 -4x) = 94 , 14x + 144 - 24x = 94 Step 3)...

l1 and l2 are tangents of a circle. l1 intersects the circle at (3-√3,5) with a gradient of √3, and l2 intersects the circle at (3+√2,4+√2) with a gradient of -1. Find the centre of the circle, and hence find the radius of the circle.

To first find the centre of the circle, the key fact to remember is that the radius of a circle is normal (perpendicular) to any tangent. This means if you take the normals to both of these tangents at th...
