Given that y is inversely proportional to x^2 and x is always positive. If y=27 when x = 6, calculate the value of x when y=8.
6^2*27=972
8*x^2=972
x=sqrt(121.5)
AVEN JOHNNNNNNNNN
So inversely proportional means that \(x^2y\) is always the same, and \(6\times6=36, 36\times27=972\), \(972/8=121.5\), so x is the square root of 121.5
Yes inverse proportion means the product is the same while direct proportion means the quotient is the same.
