If t varies inversely as a and t= 2 when a = -4, what is t when a = 1/3?

1. -2 2/3
2. -24
3. - 1/6
4. -2/3

Answer:

t = - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given t varies inversely as a then the equation relating them is

t = [tex]\frac{k}{a}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition t = 2 when a = - 4

2 = [tex]\frac{k}{-4}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by - 4 )

- 8 = k

t = [tex]\frac{-8}{a}[/tex] ← equation of variation

When a = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] , then

t = [tex]\frac{-8}{\frac{1}{3} }[/tex] = - 24
