- y = 10,370/(x^2)
The resistance y (in ohms) of 1000 feet
of solid copper wire at 68 degrees Fahrenheit is y = 10,370/(x^2) where x is the diameter of the wire in mils (0.001 inch).
Complete the table.
x...60 70 80 90 100
y...
Solution:
Let x = 60
y = 10,370/(60)^2
y = 10,370/3600
y = 2.8805555556
This decimal cannot be the answer for y to be placed in the table above, right?
I need to know if this is right before moving on.
