An inverse variation is a relation described by the equation of the form:
𝑘
𝑦=
𝑥
where k is the constant of proportionality. Another way of writing this is,
𝑥𝑦 = 𝑘 .
An inverse variation tells us that the value of one variable decreases as the
other variable increases at a constant ratio.
Example: If 𝑦 varies inversely as 𝑥, and 𝑦 = 10 when 𝑥 = 2, find 𝑦 when
𝑥 = 10.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the equation of the variation: 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑘
Step 2: First find the value of k by substituting the given values of 𝑦
and 𝑥.
𝑘
10 = Solve for k by doing some algebra.
2
2(10) = 𝑘
20 = 𝑘 This is the constant of variation.
20
Step 3: 𝑦 = Substitute 20 for 𝑘 and 𝑥 = 10 in the equation of
𝑥
variation.
20
Step 4: 𝑦 =
10
𝒚=𝟐 This is the value of 𝑦 when 𝑥 = 10.
Exercises: Solve for the indicated variable in each of the following.
1) If 𝑦 varies inversely as 𝑥, and 𝑦 = 3 when 𝑥 = 4, find 𝑦 when 𝑥 = 6.
