Question

P Is inversely proportional to v When p=5, v=8 Find a formula for p in terms of v

Answer 1

Answer:

p = $\frac{40}{v}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p is inversely proportional to v then the equation relating them is

p = $\frac{k}{v}$ ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition when p = 5, v = 8

k = pv = 5 × 8 = 40, hence

p = $\frac{40}{v}$
