The value of x when y = 9 is x = 2 or x = -2

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that value of y varies inversely as the square of x, and y=4, when x=3.

Therefore the initial statement is:

y \propto \frac{1}{x^{2}}

To convert to an equation, multiply by k, the constant  of variation

y = k \times \frac{1}{x^2}

y = \frac{k}{x^2}  --- eqn 1

Given that,

y = 4 when x = 3

Now find value of k

4 = \frac{k}{3^2}\\\\4 \times 9 = k\\\\k = 36

<em><u>Find the value of x when y = 9</u></em>

x = ?

y = 9

From eqn 1,

9 = \frac{k}{x^2}\\\\9 = \frac{36}{x^2}\\\\x^2 = 4\\\\x = \pm 2

Thus value of x is found

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 1/5 of the total distance to his grandmothers house was traveled on Sunday

The total distance to to his grandmothers house is assumed to be 1

Marks family traveled 7/10 of the distance to his grandmothers house on Saturday. The remaining distance would

1 - 7/10 = 3 /10

They traveled 2/3 of the remaining distance on Sunday. This means that the distance that they travelled on Sunday is

2/3 × 3/10 = 2/10 = 1/5
