a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 4ST

The constant of variation, k is 15 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following variation:

y varies inversely as x.

  y=45 when x=13 .

Calculation:

The given variation can be expressed as an equation as follows:

  xy=k

where k is a constant.

Substituting the given values of x and y in the above equation,

  xy=k [Given]45(13)=k [Substitute]k=15 [Multiply]

b.

To determine

To find: Value of x when y=30 .

b.

Answer to Problem 4ST

When y=30 , x=12 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following variation:

y varies inversely as x.

  y=45 when x=13 .

Calculation:

The given variation can be expressed as an equation as follows:

  xy=k

where k=15 (calculated in part a).

Therefore, an equation of the inverse variation is xy=15 .

To find x when y=30 , substitute in xy=15 .

  xy=15 [Equation]x(30)=15 [Substitute]x=1530 [Divide both sides by 30]x=12 [Simplify]
