y varies inversely with twice the value of x. When y=8, x=2. Find y when x=8 2 16 24 32 I think its 2.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

y = k/2x

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

k = 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its inverse...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

yes, that's why i wrote it as k over 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see. y=k/x^n is the formula my school gives me though...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Your school is wrong. :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats sad!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Righto.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
