Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

xy = k    

where k is the constant of variation.

We can also express the relationship between x and y as:

y =      

where k is the constant of variation.

Since k is constant, we can find k given any point by multiplying the x-coordinate by the y-coordinate. For example, if y varies inversely as x, and x = 5 when y = 2, then the constant of variation is k = xy = 5(2) = 10. Thus, the equation describing this inverse variation is xy = 10 or y = .

Example 1: If y varies inversely as x, and y = 6 when x = , write an equation describing this inverse variation.

k = (6) = 8  

xy = 8 or y =  

Example 2: If y varies inversely as x, and the constant of variation is k = , what is y when x = 10?

xy =  

10y =  

y = × = × =  

k is constant. Thus, given any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) which satisfy the inverse variation, x1y1 = k and x2y2 = k. Consequently, x1y1 = x2y2 for any two points that satisfy the inverse variation.

Example 3: If y varies inversely as x, and y = 10 when x = 6, then what is y when x = 15?

x1y1 = x2y2  

6(10) = 15y  

60 = 15y  

y = 4  

Thus, when x = 6, y = 4.



2nd answer choice


constant of variation is xy. XY=23. If X=7 then Y=23/7.

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:
a² = b²+c²
As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:
b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16
With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10

The number of candies consumed varies inversely with the number of children present. When 12 children are present,140 pieces of
irinina [24]
Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).

Another way to write that relationship is xy = k.  To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.

Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).

"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed."  So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.

xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k

Now, when x = 8 children,

8y = 1680
y = 210
