All right sy Match members We have another varies problem

00:05

for you That's very not So interesting are a varies

00:09

inversely is the value of b a's ninety when b

00:13

is three what's the constant of proportionality relating a n

00:18

b Constant of proportionality You should use that phrase when

00:24

europe parties to make your friends think you're really cool

00:28

when two variables very inversely their product is constant that

00:33

is a times b equals k the constant of proportionality

00:37

K is the product of a and b like you

00:39

multiply them together and you can count on what number

00:42

you're going to get to find Kay Well we just

00:44

multiply and be together ninety times Three is to seventy

00:47

which is kay Well the constant of proportionality is to

00:50

seventy that's it also it's true we just like saying

00:53

constant of proportionality Politicians should say that well thirty a

00:58

would be the correct answer is a very directly as

01:01

be but in that case and b would be related

01:03

by the equation A equals a times b instead of

01:06

a b equals cake so that's it it's sea to

01:10

seventy and we're going to say it one more time

01:12

Constant of proportionality C
