Question

For the function defined by y = 1/x4, y varies inversely as what quantity

Answer 1

d. x^4

Explanation:

Just got it right

Answer 2

y varies inversely as x exponent 4.

EXPLANATION

The inverse variation equation is given as:

`y = \frac{1}{ {x}^(4) }`

We can see that there is an inverse relation between the quantity y and x.

If the it were
`y = \frac{1}{ {x}^2 }`, we say y varies inversely as the square of x.

Hence for the given relation,the precise definition is that, y varies inversely as x exponent 4.
