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
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "if x varies inversely as y then the equation takes the form of
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "xy=k where k is the constant of variation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "in our case
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 and y=11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "7(11)=k------>k=77
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so you can write this as xy=77 or x=77(1/y)....what ever makes you feel comfortable in understanding.

\n" ); document.write( "an inverse relationship simply means if one variable increases the other decreases and vice versa \n" ); document.write( "
