Question

Write an equation to describe the variation. Use k for the constant of proportionality.h varies inversely as √pThe equation is___

Answer 1

For any two values x and y, if x varies inversely as y, the equation of the relationship can be expressed as follows:

`y=(k)/(x)`

Where k is a constant of proportionality. From the problem, we identify:

`\begin{gathered} x=h \\ y=√(p) \end{gathered}`

Finally:

`\begin{gathered} √(p)=(k)/(h) \\ \\ \text{ or} \\ \\ k=h\cdot√(p) \end{gathered}`
