If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.
If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.
The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.
Hope this helps! :)
ANSWER
y varies inversely as x exponent 4.
EXPLANATION
The inverse variation equation is given as:
We can see that there is an inverse relation between the quantity y and x.
If the it were 
, we say y varies inversely as the square of x.
Hence for the given relation,the precise definition is that, y varies inversely as x exponent 4.
8 divide by 5
X=4-3 and that's the right answer
