Question

Find the constant of variation:

a. x 1 2 3 4
y 6 3 2 1.5


b. x 1 3 4 24
y 24 8 6 1

Answer 1

a. 6

b. 24

Explanation:

a and b are both inverse constant variation

a. x * y = K

1 x 6 =6

2 x 3 = 6

3 x 2 = 6

4 x 1.5 = 6

k = 6

b. 1 x 24 = 24

3 x 8 = 24

4 x 6 = 24

24 x 1 = 24

K = 24
