Question

xX ∝ 1/√y and when x = 40 then y = 16. If x = 10, find y.​

Answer 1

Answer:

step by step explanation............

x ∝ (1/√y) ∴ x = k x (1/√y) where, k is the constant of variation. ∴ x × √y = k …(i) When x = 40, y = 16 ∴ Substituting x = 40 andy = 16 in (i), we get x × √y = k ∴ 40 × √16 = k ∴ k = 40 × 4 ∴ k = 160 Substituting k = 160 in (i), we get x × √y = k ∴ x × √y = 160 …(ii) This is the equation of variation. When x = 10,y = ? ∴ Substituting, x = 10 in (ii), we get x × √y = 160 ∴ 10 × √y = 160 ∴ √y = 160/10 ∴ √y = 16 ∴ y = 256 …..
