Suppose c and d vary inversely, and d = 2 when c = 17.
a. write an equation that models the variation?
b. find d when c = 68

Answered by maham237 @



Given:
d = 2
c = 17
a)
Inverse equation is like this:

c = k/d

where k is the constant value.

17 = k/2
17 * 2 = k
34 = k

b)

c = k/d
c*d = k
d = k/c
d = 34/68
d = 0.5

The value of d is 0.50

To check:

c = k/d
c = 34 / 0.5
c = 68
