Answer:= y = 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
In inverse variation, both variables move in opposite directions. This means that as variable 1 increases, variable 2 reduces and as variable 1 reduces, variable 2 increases.
Y varies inversely with x.
So as y increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.
We would proceed by introducing a constant of variation, k
y = k/x
From the information given,
The constant of variation, k = 1.24
The value if x = 4.96
To find the value of y
y = k/x = 1.24/4.96
= 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.
It must be an odd number because 3^7 is also shown as:
3x3x3x3x3x3x3
Which equals:2,187
2,187 is an odd number because the last number is a 7 which is odd.
