Yvaries inversely with x, and k (the constant of variation) = 1.24. what is the value of y when x = 4.96?
round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

= y = 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

In inverse variation, both variables move in opposite directions. This means that as variable 1 increases, variable 2 reduces and as variable 1 reduces, variable 2 increases.

Y varies inversely with x.

So as y increases, x reduces and as y reduces, x increases.

We would proceed by introducing a constant of variation, k

y = k/x

From the information given,

The constant of variation, k = 1.24

The value if x = 4.96

To find the value of y

y = k/x = 1.24/4.96

= 0.25 to the nearest hundredth.

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.
