If f(x) varies directly with x and f(x) = 2 when x = 10, then what is the value of f(x) when x = 40?

a.8
b.45
c.200
d.320

Sagot :

this is simple multiplication
do 2*4 and 10*4
so you get f(x)=8 and x=40

if you wanna do it by doing division do
2=10
f(x)=40
cross multiply then divide
so do 2*40 to get 80
then do 80/10 to get 8

Answer: a.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If f(x) varies directly with x and f(x) = 2 when x = 10

We know  if two quantities (x and f(x)) are directly proportional then

[tex]\frac{x_1}{f(x_1)}=\frac{x_2}{f(x_2)}[/tex]

Now, for the given problem we have ,

[tex]\frac{10}{2}=\frac{40}{f(40)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(40)=\frac{40\times2}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(40)=8[/tex]

Hence, if  x = 40, then f(x)=8.
