Question

for the inverse variation equation p=8/v what is the value of p when v = 1/4

Answer 1

We are provided the equation for the inverse function which is p = 8/v. In order to find v, first isolate v on one side of the equation as shown below:

p = 8/v

pv= 8

v = 8/p

Using the value of p = 4, we get:

v = 8/4

v = 2

Therefore, for the inverse variation equation p = 8/v, the value of v when p= 4 is 2.

Answer 2

The value of p is 32.

Given:

The inverse variation equation, p = 8/v.

To Find:

p=? when v=1/4.

Solution:

to find p when v=1/4,

We know the inverse operation of division is multiplication.

so, we have to multiply the result of the division problem with the divisor to obtain the dividend.

so, the equation can be written as pv =8.

here, divisor v=1/4

result=p

dividend=8

now, p(1/4)=8

p=8(4)

p = 32

Therefore, for the inverse variation equation p = 8/v, the value of p when v=1/4 is 32.

The value of p is 32.
