Question

In the inverse variation function, what happens to the output when the

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse variation function is defined as

$y\propto \dfrac{1}{x}$

$y=\dfrac{k}{x}$

where, k is constant of proportionality.

In the above equation x represents input and y represents output.

If the function's input value is multiplied by 4, then

$y_1=\dfrac{k}{x_1}$

$y_1=\dfrac{k}{4x}$

$y_1=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot \dfrac{k}{x}$

$y_1=\dfrac{1}{4}y$

The output is divided by 4​.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
