question

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

@pitamar

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

so k=1300

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

would it also y always be in fraction form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if y varies inversely with x then yes. Always makes sure you read what varies with what and in in what way. So, what do you think?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the form of y varies inversely with x? including k

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

I dont think x would be on the

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it \(y=\frac{k}{x}\) or \(y=\frac{x}{k}\)?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

y = x/k

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

well actually no its the other one

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

i messed up

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

y = k/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, exactly. y = x/k is actually a direct inversion in disguise, because dividing by a constant is just like multiplying by a constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so if you plug 1300 in, what do you get?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

but you said that was wrong earlier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, k = 1300 is fine, the question is what is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we plug $$ y = \frac{k}{x} \implies y=\frac{1300}{x} $$ That is not d

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

its b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right
