| INVERSE
VARIATION |
|
Let’s look at a real-life
problem now involving inverse variation.
The force (F) needed
to loosen a bolt with a wrench varies inversely with the length of the
handle of the wrench.
If a force of 180 pounds is needed to loosen a bolt using
a wrench with a handle 10 inches long, how much force must
be exerted when using a wrench with a 16 inch handle?
