Question

Y is inversely proportional to the square of x.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x²y = k, where k is a real constant.

When x = 3.5, y = 8.

=> (3.5)²(8) = k, k = 98.

When y = 8/9,

we have x²(8/9) = (98).

=> x² = 110.25

=> x = 10.5 or x = -10.5.

Since we want the negative value,

the answer is x = -10.5.
