Assume that the variables x and y are inversely related. If k = 18, what is the value of y for each of the following points?
Be sure and record your data to be used in the following problem.
|X|  |Y| | K|
1_____18
2_____18
3_____18
6_____18
9_____18
18_____18

Respuesta :

Answer:

The values of Y are: 18, 9, 6, 3, 2, 1

Explanation:

It is given that X and Y are inversely related. This can be depicted mathematically as:

[tex]X \alpha \frac{1}{Y}[/tex]

i.e. as X increases the value of Y is expected to decrease.

(or) [tex]X =k* \frac{1}{Y}[/tex]

where k = proportionality constant which is given as 18

In terms of Y, the above equation becomes:

[tex]Y =k* \frac{1}{X}[/tex]

Based on the above equation the table can be filled as :

X     Y     K

1      18    18

2     9      18

3     6      18

6     3      18

9     2      18

18     1     18

Answer: x y k

1 18 18

2 9 18

3 6 18

6 3 18

9 2 18

18 1 18
