W varies inversely as the square of t. If W = 12 when t = 2,

find t when W = 27.

A. 27t = 24

B. 27t2 = 48

C. 108 = 12t

D. 12t = 54

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given W varies inversely as t² then the equation relating them is

W = [tex]\frac{k}{t^2}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition W = 12 when t = 2, thus

12 = [tex]\frac{k}{2^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{k}{4}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 4 )

k = 48

W = [tex]\frac{48}{t^2}[/tex] ← equation of variation

When W = 27, then

27 = [tex]\frac{48}{t^2}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by t² )

27t² = 48 → B
