SOLUTION
From the question, we are told that y varies inversely as x
This is mathematically written as
Now, we will remove the proportionality sign and replace it with equal to sign =
If we do this, we will intoduce a constant k
So we have the formula
We will substitute the values of x for 10 and y for 8 into the formula to get k, we have
Now, we will substitute k for 80 back into the formula to get the inverse function, we have
Hence the answer is option C
Answer:
This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".
The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.
So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.
In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.
