Answer:
t = - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given t varies inversely as a then the equation relating them is
t =
← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition t = 2 when a = - 4
2 =
( multiply both sides by - 4 )
- 8 = k
t =
← equation of variation
When a =
, then
t =
= - 24
Answer= -4 & -4
The first step of this would be to write all the factor pairs of 16
(1,16)(2,8)(4,4)(-1,-16)(-2,-8)(-4,-4)
Of these, only one pair has a sum of -8. The (-4,-4) pair. So the answer is -4&-4
