For the inverse variation equation p=8/v what is the value of V when p = 4?
a. 1/8
b. 1/2
c. 2
d. 32
Answer:
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form
y*x=k or y= k/x
in this problem we have that
the value of the constant K is equal to 8
so
pv=8
Solve for V
v=8/p
Find the value of V for p=4
substitute the value of P in the formula
v=8/4=2
therefore
the answer is
the value of V is equal to 2
