Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
(a)
given y varies directly with T and inversely with x² , then the equation relating them is
y =
← k is the constant of variation
to find k use the condition y = 5 when T = 2 and x = 4
5 =
=
( multiply both sides by 16 )
80 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )
40 = k
y =
← equation of variation
(b)
when T = 3 and x = 4 , then
y =
=
= 7.5
