Question

Given y varies inversely as x, and y = 5 when x = 9. *Write the inverse function

Answer 1

y = 45/x

Explanation:

Here, we want to write an inverse relationship

for an inverse relationship, the product of both variables will be equal to the constant term

Let us have the constant term as k

Thus, we have it that;

xy = k

9 * 5 = k

k = 45

So the inverse function is;

xy = 45

or y = 45/x

if y is a function of x, we can have it as;

f(x) = 45/x
