If y varies inversely as x find the constant variation of k and the inverse variation equation for the situation. y=1/8, x=72 | k=9, y=9/x |
Pairs of markings a set distance apart are Over a fixed distance, the speed R varies inversely with the time T. In one particular pair of markings, R is 60 mph when T is 5 seconds. Find the speed of a car that travels the given distance in 4 seconds. | 75mph |
If the voltage V in an electric circuit is held constant, the current I is inversely proportional to the resistance R. If the current is 60 amperes when the resistance is 280 ohms, find the current when the resistance is 160 ohms. | 105 amperes |
The intensity of light (in foot-candles) varies inversely as the square of x, the distance in feet from the light source. Intensity of light 3 feet from the source is 81 foot-candles. How far away is the source if the intensity of light is 9 foot-candles. | 9 foot-candles |
