Inverse Variation
If t varies inversely with s and
It is 2 when.s is 36,
what is t when s is 3?
What is inverse variation?
- Inverse variation is a quantity of two variables that is equal to a constant.
t varies inversely as s: ts = k
Given:
To determine the constant of variation (represented by k), substitute the first two given values of s and t to the equation of variation.
To determine the value of t, substitute the second value of s and replace k to 72 (the value of the constant)
- ts = k
- 3t = 72
- t = 72/3
- t = 4
