what is the formula of inverse proportions?
Answers
Answer:The equation for inverse proportion is x y = k or x = k/ y. Therefore, for finding the value of the constant k, you can use the known values and then use this formula to calculate all the unknown values
Answer:
Two quantities a and b are said to be in inverse proportion if an increase in the quantity a, there will be a decrease in the quantity b, and vice-versa. In other words, the product of their corresponding values should remain constant. Sometimes, it is also known as inverse variation
That is, if ab = k, then a and b are said to vary inversely. In this case, if b1, b2 are the values of b corresponding to the values a1, a2 of a respectively then a1 b1 = a2 b2 or a1/a2 = b2 /b1
The statement ‘a is inversely proportional to b is written as
a ∝ 1/b
Here, an equation is given that involves the inverse proportions that can be used to calculate the other values.
