Answer:
A. 0.5
B. 4.5
C. 1.5
D. 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies inversely with x can be written as:
y = k/x
where k is constant of variation.
1. value of A
x=A, y = 9 and k = 4.5 (given)
y = k/x
9 = 4.5/A
=> A = 4.5/9
=> A=0.5
2. Value of B
x =1, y= B, k = 4.5
y = k/x
B = 4.5/1
B= 4.5
3. Value of C
x=C, y=3. k=4.5
y = k/x
3 = 4.5/C
3C = 4.5
C = 4.5/3
C = 1.5
4. Value of D
x= 9, y=D, k=4.5
y = k/x
D = 4.5/9
D = 0.5
Answer:
[tex]A=0.5[/tex]
[tex]B=4.5[/tex]
[tex]C=1.5[/tex]
[tex]D=0.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The form an the equation of inverse variation is:
[tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex]
Being "k" the constant of variation.
Since we know "k" and we have the values given in the table, we can find the missing values:
To find A we need to substitute the [tex]y=9[/tex], the value of "k" and [tex]x=A[/tex] into the equation and solve for "A":
[tex]9=\frac{4.5}{A}[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac{4.5}{9}=0.5[/tex]
To find B we need to substitute the [tex]x=1[/tex], the value of "k" and [tex]y=B[/tex] into the equation:
[tex]B=\frac{4.5}{1}=4.5[/tex]
To find C we need to substitute the [tex]y=3[/tex], the value of "k" and [tex]x=C[/tex] into the equation and solve for "C":
[tex]3=\frac{4.5}{C}[/tex]
[tex]C=\frac{4.5}{3}=1.5[/tex]
To find D we need to substitute the [tex]x=9[/tex], the value of "k" and [tex]y=D[/tex] into the equation:
[tex]D=\frac{4.5}{9}=0.5[/tex]
