Yvaries inversely with x. when y = 3.6, x = 1.2. what is the value of k, the constant of inverse variation? round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

The constant, k, is 4.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x means y=k/x.

y varies directly with x means y=kx.

Anyways we have the first relation: y=k/x where k is a constant.

We divided by x because it said inversely.

We are given (x,y)=(1.2,3.6) is on this curve.

This gives us enough information to find the constant, k.

with .

Multiply both sides by 1.2:

The constant, k, is 4.32.

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.

a. is correct
