Inverse Variation
Q varies inversely with x. if q = 12 when x = 5, find the value of q when x = 12.
q varies inversely as x: qx = k, such k is constant
Given values:
To determine the constant of variation, substitute the first two given values of q and x to the equation of variation.
To determine the value of q, substitute the second given value of x together with the constant of variation.
- x = 12, q = ?
- qx = 60
- 12q = 60
- q = 60/12
- q = 5
