**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..... :/

Respuesta :

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

[tex]f(w)\propto\frac{1}{w}[/tex]

[tex]f(w)=\frac{k}{w}[/tex]

Where k=proportionality constant

Substitute the given values then, we get

[tex]0.75=\frac{k}{8}[/tex]

[tex]k=0.75\times 8[/tex]

[tex]k=6[/tex]

Substitute the value of k then, we get

[tex]f(w)=\frac{6}{w}[/tex]

Substitute the value of w=2

Then, we get

[tex]f(w)=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]

[tex]f(w)=3[/tex]

Hence, option C is true.
