What does k in the formula of y means?
It means that y is a function of k.
If y equals kx then what is the relationship between x y and k?
Various options: y is directly proportional to k, with x as the constant of proportionality; y is directly proportional to x, with k as the constant of proportionality; x is inversely proportional to k, with y as the constant of proportionality; x is directly proportional to y, with 1/k as the constant of proportionality; k is directly proportional to y, with 1/x as the constant of proportionality; and k is inversely proportional to x, with y as the constant of proportionality.
Given y is inversely proportional to x If the difference in the values of y when x 2 and x 6 is 5 How do i find the value of y when x 4?
As y is inversely proportional to x, the equation relating x to y is given by: y = k/x where k is the constant of proportionality. Using this we can find expressions for the value of y when x = 2 and x = 6 in terms of k: x = 2 → y = k/2 x = 6 → y = k/6 The difference between these is k/2 - k/6 = 3k/6 - k/6 = 2k/6 = k/3 But this, we are told is 5; thus: k/3 = 5 → k = 15 Thus y = 15/x Now that we have found the equation relating x to y, we can plug in the value for x = 4 and find the value of y: The value for y when x = 4 is y = 15/4 = 3.75
What is the Multiple of 3 and x is between 10 and Y?
It is k*3x where k is an integer such that 10/(3x) < k < y/(3x)
Does inverse and indirect variation mean the same thing?
Y=k/x where k is the constant of proportionality is an example of indirect or inverse variation. They are the same thing.
