Inverse Variation

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Two quantities vary inversely when y = k/x — doubling one halves the other.

Show

If y = 6 when x = 2, then k = 12; at x = 4 the value drops to 3, the product xy holding 12.

Watch for

Inverse variation is a relationship, not Video 293's inverse function.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
