Question 1134894: f-stop and aperture diameter
the relative aperture or f-stop for a camera lens is inversely proportional to the diameter of the aperture an f-stop of 2.8 corresponds to an aperture diameter of 75 millimeters for a certain telephoto lens
a. find the equation that relates f-stop and diameter
b. graph the equation from part a. in the first quadrant only.
c. what aperture diameter corresponds to an f-stop of 5.6

----
a. find the equation that relates f-stop and diameter
f = k/d
2.8 = k/75 --> k = 210
f = 210/d
---
b. graph the equation from part a. in the first quadrant only.
Use d for the x-axis, f for the y-axis
---------
c. what aperture diameter corresponds to an f-stop of 5.6
5.6 = 210/d
d = 210/5.6
d = 37.5 mm
