The value of y varies inversely as √x and when x=25, y=15. What is x when y=3?

\(\sqrt{x}*y=k\)

\(5*15=k\)

\(k=75\)

\(\sqrt{x}=\frac{75}{3}\)

\(x=625\)

y = k / (sqrtx)       sub in the values to calculate the proportionality constant  'k'

15 = k/(sqrt25)

k =75

 

3 = 75/(sqrtx)

75/3 = sqrt x

625 = x
