When x = 3, y = 16 and when x = 6, y = 8. Which inverse variation equation can be used to model this function

Verified Answer :

the answer is

48 over x


Answer:

\(y=\dfrac{48}{x}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 3, y = 16

When x = 6, y = 8

We need to model the inverse variation.

Inverse Variation : When one value increase another value decrease. But product of both always constant.  

\(y=\dfrac{k}{x}\)

when x=3, y=16

\(16=\dfrac{k}{3}\)

k=48

When x=6, y=8

\(8=\dfrac{k}{6}\)

k=48

Model of the inverse variation:

\(y=\dfrac{48}{x}\)

Hence, The model of inverse variation is \(y=\dfrac{48}{x}\)
