The video tutorial explains inverse variation, focusing on how y is inversely proportional to the square of x. It demonstrates finding the constant of proportionality, k, using given values of y and x. The tutorial then shows how to write the specific variation equation using the calculated k. Finally, it calculates y for a given x value, rounding the result to three decimal places.

What does it mean when y is inversely proportional to the square of x?

• y increases as x increases

• y decreases as x increases

• y is constant regardless of x

• y is directly proportional to x

Which equation represents y being inversely proportional to the square of x?

• y = k * x

• y = k / x

• y = k / x^2

• y = k * x^2
