PLEASE HELP??? **STUCK ON THIS!!!!


Suppose that f(w) varies inversely with w and f(w) = 0.75 when w= 8.


What is f(w) when w= 2?


A.) 12

B.) 6

C.) 3

D.) 1.5


My answer choice is C.) 3. I'm not very confident in my answer so..... :/

Verified Answer :

I think you have the right answer already

Answer:

C.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(w) varies inversely with w.

f(w)=0.75 when w=8

We have to find the value of f(w) when w=2

According to question

\(f(w)\propto\frac{1}{w}\)

\(f(w)=\frac{k}{w}\)

Where k=proportionality constant

Substitute the given values then, we get

\(0.75=\frac{k}{8}\)

\(k=0.75\times 8\)

\(k=6\)

Substitute the value of k then, we get

\(f(w)=\frac{6}{w}\)

Substitute the value of w=2

Then, we get

\(f(w)=\frac{6}{2}=3\)

\(f(w)=3\)

Hence, option C is true.
