Question

Write the inverse variation function given that y varies inversely with x, and y = 0.5 when x = 24.

Answer 1

Answer ↓

$\large{\text{Refer\:to\:explanation\:pls}}$

Calculation ↓

If y varies inversely with x, we divide :

y = $^k/_x$

Where

k = constant of proportionality

We are given that :

y = 0.5

x = 24

So we write :

0.5 = $\Large\text{ ^k/_{24} }$

Multiply by 24 on $\Large{\text{both\:sides\::}}$

12=k

$\Large{\text{The\:constant\:of\:proportionality\:is\:12.}}$

So we have

y = 12/x
