Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) y varies inversely with x. If y = 3 and k (the constant of variation) = 33
If y varies inversely with x, then as y increases increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.
y varies inversely with x
Introducing constant of inverse variation, k
y = k/x
If y = 3 and k (the constant of variation) = 33,
x = k / y = 33/3
= 11
2) y varies inversely with x, and k (the constant of variation) = 5.6. What is the value of y when x = 4
y = k/x
y = 5.6/4 = 1.4
3) y varies inversely with x. If y = 17 and k (the constant of variation) = 76
y = k /x
x = k /y = 76/17 = 4.4705
= 4.5 to the nearest tenth
