What is indirect variation?
The constant of variation in an http://wiki.answers.com/Q/inverse-variation.html is the constant (unchanged) product between two variable quantities.The formula for indirect variation is xy = k..where k is the constant of variation.The constant of variation in a http://wiki.answers.com/Q/direct-variation.html is the constant (unchanged) ratio of two http://wiki.answers.com/Q/variables.html quantities. The formula for direct variation is y = kx..where k is the constant of variation.
Is xy equals 4 an inverse variation?
Yes.
What does an inverse variation equation look like?
y = k/x of xy = k where k is a constant.
What is the inverse variation equation?
Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inverse variation if XY = k or Y = k/X for some constant k.
In inverse proportion x equals 2 and y equals 36 but what will y be when x equals 4?
Inverse proportion implies xy = c where c is the constant of [inverse] proportionality. x = 2 and y = 36 implies xy = 72 = c So the relationship is xy = 72 Then, if x = 4, y = 72/x = 72/4 = 18
