Question

The function f(x) varies inversely with x and f(x)=0.5 when x = 0.3. What is f(x) when x = 2.4? A)5.76 B)0.0625 C)0.30 D)0.15

Answer 1

B) 0.0625

Explanation:

f(x) = k / x

f(x)=0.5 when x = 0.3

f(x) = k / x

0.5 = k / 0.3

Cross product

0.5 * 0.3 = k

k = 0.15

What is f(x) when x = 2.4?

f(x) = k / x

f(x) = 0.15 / 2.4

f(x) = 0.0625

The answer is B) 0.0625
