<p>Could someone please explain this problem?
For the function f, y=f(x) is inversely proportional to x, where x>0. If f(3)=6, what is the value of f(2)?

<p>-edit-
Nvm I had the wrong formula…</p>
<p>The key to this question is understanding the concept of “inversely proportional to x”. Inversely proportional generally means 1/x. However in this equation when you set:</p>
<p>6 = 1/3 the answer doesn’t make any sense. Thus you need to set the numerator to be a different variable. I chose “k”.</p>
<p>6 = k/3
k = 18</p>
<p>y = k/x
y = 18/2
y = 9</p>
