Question

Y is inverse proportional to x. y=16 when x is 1/2. Write an expression for y in terms of x

Answer 1

The answer is

`y = (8)/(x)`

Explanation:

The above variation is written as

`y = (k)/(x)`

Where k is the constant of variation

y = 16 x = 1/2

`k = yx \\ k = 16 * (1)/(2) \\ k = 8`

So the expression for y in terms of x is

`y = (8)/(x)`

Hope this helps you.
