Given:

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

y = 4 when x = 64

To find:

The value of y when x=16.

Solution:

We have,

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

y=\dfrac{k}{\sqrt{x}}           ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

We have, y = 4 when x = 64.

4=\dfrac{k}{\sqrt{64}}

4=\dfrac{k}{8}

4\times 8=k

32=k

Putting k=32 in (i), we get

y=\dfrac{32}{\sqrt{x}}

Putting x=16, we get

y=\dfrac{32}{\sqrt{16}}

y=\dfrac{32}{4}

y=8

Therefore, the value of y is 8 when x=16.

antoniya [11.8K]
12 hours worth $87

1 hour would be  $87/12 = $7.25


9 hours worth $65.25

1 hour would be  $65.25/9 = $7.25


The constant of proportionality is  $7.25 per hour.
