Answer:

Velocity (against wind) = 1,890 / 3 = 630 mph

Velocity (with the wind) = 1,890 / 2.5 = 756 mph

Plane speed (still air) = 630 + wind speed

Plane speed (still air) = 756 - wind speed

Adding both equations equals

2 * Plane speed (still air) = 1,386

Plane Speed = 693 mph

Write the inverse variation function given that y varies inversely with x, and y = 0.25 when x = 8.
storchak [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a given variable varies inversely with another variable, an increase in the value of the given variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the value of the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of the given variable would cause a corresponding increase in the value of the other variable.

If y varies inversely with x, we would introduce a cost of variation, k so that the expression becomes

y = k/x

When y = 0.25, x = 8

Substituting into the expression above, it becomes

0.25 = k/8

k = 0.25 × 8

k = 2

The inverse variation function is

y = 2/x
