Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. Then solve the equation. If y varies inversely as the square of x, and y= 1/8 when x=1, find y when x=5

Answer:

k = 1/8

y = 1 / 200

Explanation:

Let the constant of variation = k

y varies inversely as the square of x

y α 1/x²

y = k * 1/x²

y = k/x²

y = 1/8 ; x = 1

1/8 = k/1²

1/8 = k

K = 1/8

y ; when x = 5

y = (1/8 ÷ 5²)

y = 1/8 * 1/5²

y = 1/8 * 1/25

y = 1 / 200
