Inverse Variation
Sample Problems:
1. y varies inversely as x. y = 3 when x = 10.
What is y when x = 6.

2. b is inversely prportional to the square root

of c, and b = 9 when c = 121, find b when
c = 81.
Phrases to remember:

“varies inversely”
and
“inversely proportional”
Inverse Variation can be modelled
using the formula:

1. y varies inversely as x.
y = 3 when x = 10. What
is y when x = 6.
Answer: y = 5
2. b is inversely prportional
to the square root of c, and
b = 9 when c = 121, find b
when c = 81.
Answer: b = 11
4. m is inversely prportional to
the square of n, and m = 3
when n = 6, find m when n= 2.

Answer: n = 27
3. If y varies inversely as x,
and y = 10 when x = 6, then
what is y when x = 15?

Answer: y = 4
5. The current (c) in a simple
electrical circuit is inversely
proportional to the resistance (r). If
the current is 80 amps when the
resistance is 50 ohms, find the
current when the resistance is 40
ohms.
Answer: c = 100 amps
In our country today, show the relationship of these
two terms applying the concept of inverse variation:

1. Economy Vs. Corruption

2. Peace and Order Vs. Crime Rate
3. Disaster Preparedness
Vs.
No. of Victims of Disasters
1. If y varies inversely as x, and
y = 32 when x = 3, find x when y
= 15.
2. If x varies inverse as y, and x = 7
when y = 3, find y when x = 9.
3. The time (t) it takes you to get to
campus varies inversely as your
driving speed (s). Averaging 20 miles
per hour in bad traffic, it takes you 1.5
hours to get to campus. How long
would the trip take averaging 50
miles per hour? (express your answer in
decimal)
4. y varies inversely as x.
y = 6 when x = 20. What
is y when x = 12.
5. The current (c) in a simple electrical circuit is
inversely proportional to the resistance (r). If
the current is 40 amps when the resistance is 25
ohms, find the current when the resistance is 20
ohms.
