You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ans: y varies inversely as x^2
\n" ); document.write( " y=k/x^2 ,k is constant of variation (as y increases x^2 decreases)
\n" ); document.write( " y*x^2=k
\n" ); document.write( " Now y=2 and x=4 substituting we get
\n" ); document.write( " 2*4^2=k
\n" ); document.write( " 2*16=k
\n" ); document.write( " 32=k ans. \n" ); document.write( "
