Question

Write an equation that represents Boyle’s law (the volume of air varies inversely with the pressure). Use k for the variation constant.

Answer 1

`\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{\underline{v}olume varies inversely with \underline{p}ressure}}{V=\cfrac{k}{p}}~\hfill`
