This directly proportional relationship between p and q is written as p∝q where that middle sign is the sign of proportionality. The value of y can be found as shown below.
Let there are two variables p and q
Then, p and q are said to be directly proportional to each other if
p = kq
where k is some constant number called the constant of proportionality.
This directly proportional relationship between p and q is written as
p∝ q where that middle sign is the sign of proportionality.
In a directly proportional relationship, increasing one variable will increase another.
Now let m and n be two variables.
Then m and n are said to be inversely proportional to each other if
[tex]m = \dfrac{c}{n} \\\\ \text{or} \\\\ n = \dfrac{c}{m}[/tex]
(both are equal)
where c is a constant number called the constant of proportionality.
This inversely proportional relationship is denoted by
[tex]m \propto \dfrac{1}{n} \\\\ \text{or} \\\\n \propto \dfrac{1}{m}[/tex]
As visible, increasing one variable will decrease the other variable if both are inversely proportional.
1.) The relation can be written as,
y ∝ x
y = kx
27 = k × 3
k = 9
Value of y, when x=4 is,
y = 9 × 4 = 36
2.) The relation can be written as,
y ∝ x²
y = k x²
160 = k × 4²
160 = k × 16
k = 10
Value of y, when x=6 is,
y = 10 × 36 = 360
3.) The relation can be written as,
y ∝ (1/x)
y = k/x
16 = k × (1/2)
k = 32
Value of y, when x=17 is,
y = 32 × (1/17) = 1.8823
4.) The relation can be written as,
y ∝ (1/x²)
y = k(1/x²)
64 = k × (1/4²)
64 = k × (1/16)
k = 1024
Value of y, when x=7 is,
y = 1024 × (1/49) = 20.8979
