Write an equation to describe the variation. Use k for the constant of proportionality.
a varies inversely as t

Respuesta :

Answer:

The equation of variation is a t = k or  a = [tex]\frac{k}{t}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is a relationship between two variables which can be modeled by an equation where the product of two variables is equal to a constant, and this  constant is called constant of proportionality

Ex: if y varies inversely with x ⇒ y ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

The equation is y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] OR  yx = k, where k is the constant of proportionality

∵ a varies inversely as t

∴ a ∝ [tex]\frac{1}{t}[/tex]

- Put them in the equation by using k the constant of proportionality

∴ a = [tex]\frac{k}{t}[/tex]

- Multiply both sides by t

∴ a t = k

The equation of variation is a t = k  or  a = [tex]\frac{k}{t}[/tex]
