if Y varies inversely as X , when Y=4 and X=15 .? if Y varies directly as X, when Y=24 and X=3 ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[y(x)\propto \frac1x\]\[\qquad\Downarrow\]\[y(x)=\frac kx\]

OpenStudy (hba):

\[k=y(x)*x\]

OpenStudy (hba):

For the second one, \[y \ \alpha \ x\] \[y=kx=>k=y/x\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

now just substitute in the values of \(x,y\) to find the constant of proportionality \(k\)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

do you understand @doton01? have you found k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait huh. : )

OpenStudy (hba):

We have been waiting for about half an hour i guess :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u answer . i cant .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[k=y(x)\times x\] \[\quad\qquad y=4 \text{ and }x=15 \] \[k=4\times15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k=60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[k=4(15)\times 15 ?\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah 60 is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the answer ?? 60 ? -doton01
