suppose c and d vary inversely, and d = 2 when c = 17.

Awrite an equation that models the variation?
Bfind d when c = 68

Verified Answer :

Given:
d = 2 
c = 17
a) 
Inverse equation is like this:

c = k/d

where k is the constant value.

17 = k/2
17 2 = k
34 = k

b) 

c = k/d
c
d = k
d = k/c
d = 34/68
d = 0.5

The value of d is 0.50

To check:

c = k/d
c = 34 / 0.5
c = 68

a. Inversely proportional is an equation with two variables a and b such that when the value of a increases value of b decreases and vise versa. The inverse equation for the given question is \(c=\dfrac{k}{d}\)

b. The value of the d is 2312 units when c is 68 units.

Given-

c and d vary inversely where d is 2 units and c is 17 units.

\(c\propto \dfrac{1}{d}\)

Part A

Equation that models the variation:

To convert this proportion into an equation, multiply by a constant k  and find the value of constant.

\(c=\dfrac{k}{d}\)

This is the required equation, now solving further for the value of constant k,

\(c\times d=k\)

\(k=c\times d\)

\(k=17\times 2\)

\(k=34\)

Part B

Value of d when the value of c is 68 units.

By the inverse equation,

\(c=\dfrac{k}{d}\)

\(68=\dfrac{34}{d}\)

\(d=68\times 34\)

\(d=2312\)

Hence, the value of the d is 2312 units when c is 68 units.
