If y varies inversely as x and y = 9 when x = 4, find y when x = 6.

x

=

6

Explanation:

the initial statement is

x

∝

1

y

to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant

of variation

⇒

x

=

k

×

1

y

=

k

y

to find k use the given condition

x

=

4

when

y

=

9

x

=

k

y

⇒

k

=

x

y

=

4

×

9

=

36
