What is the constant of variation?
The constant of variation is the number that relates two variables that are directly proportional or inversely proportional to one another.
I don't know how to it with this 1
@Hero and @thomaster @hba
@Preetha
can any of u guy help me
try using inversely proportional approach \[y=\frac{ k }{ x }\] now pick values from any row and find k.. k would be your constant of variation
Wait I'm still lost
y= k/x
Can u at least explain in more detail Ik y= x/k but I'm still lost
well what you want me to explain?
there are 2 kinds of relation 1) directly propotional 2) inversely propotional
ok I'll give u the answer choices and u can got through explain y 1 answer choice is wrong
for directly propotonal y =kx is used.. (means as x increase y also increase) for inverse y=k/x is used.. ( means as x increase y is decreased) so look at your table and decide. which relation will you choose?
A.6 B.10 C. 30 D.90
so which 1 could be wrong
umm from the choice ? lol i would look here for the right option .. and i explained you how u can get to the right answer..
It an Direct
lol well wrong.. you shoudl read what i wrote in bracket.. look in table as u increase x.. the values of y is decreasing accordingly.. so it's an inverse.
ok so what would be the constant
pick values from any row y=k/x and put in x and y and find k
e.g pick the 2nd row.. put the values of x and y in the relation
9+ 1= 10
no// not addition .. u have to multiply them 9=k/10 multiply both sides by 10.. u will get k
