Question
This will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section.a. If $y=\frac{k}{x},$ find the value of $k$ using $x=8$ and $y=12$b. Substitute the value for $k$ into $y=\frac{k}{x}$ and write the resulting equation.c. Use the equation from part (b) to find $y$ when $x=3$d. Use the equation from part (b) to find $y$ when $x=5$
Step 1
We can substitute these values into the equation to find the value of $k$. So, we have $12=\frac{k}{8}$. Solving this equation for $k$ gives us $k=12 \times 8 = 96$. Show more…
