Suppose that x and y vary inversely, and x =7 when y-11. Write the function that models the inverse variation. Chaper 9 ISBN number is 0-13-125089-2
:
if x varies inversely as y then the equation takes the form of
:
xy=k where k is the constant of variation
:
in our case
:
x=7 and y=11
:
7(11)=k------>k=77
:
so you can write this as xy=77 or x=77(1/y)....what ever makes you feel comfortable in understanding.
:
an inverse relationship simply means if one variable increases the other decreases and vice versa
