Solving an Inverse Variation Application
Real World
Connection
Boyle's law states that when considering gases, volume varies inversely with pressure. If V represents the volume of
the gas and P represents the pressure of the gas, what would the formula be that represents this relationship? Ifa
balloon has a volume of 4 L of gas with a pressure of 5 atmospheres, what will the volume be when the pressure is 3
atmospheres?
The formula is V=KP, and when P=3, V=4.
The formula is V=kP, and when P=3, V=5.
The formula is k = VP, and when P=3, V=4.
The formula is k = VP, and when P=3, V = 20
