Given that y varies inversely as the square of x. If x = 3 when y = 100, find the equation connecting x and y.

  • A. \(yx^2 = 300\)
  • B. \(yx^2 = 900\)
  • C. y = \(\frac{100x}{9}\)
  • D. \(y = 900x^2\)

Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Y \(\alpha \frac{1}{x^2} \rightarrow y = \frac{k}{x^2}\)

If x = 3 and y = 100,

then, \(\frac{100}{1} = \frac{k}{3^2}\)

\(\frac{100}{1} = \frac{k}{9}\)

k = 100 x 9 = 900

Substitute 900 for k in

y = \(\frac{k}{x^2}\); y = \(\frac{900}{x^2}\)

= \(yx^2 = 900\)
