Problem
Suppose that is inversely proportional to . Let be two nonzero values of such that . Let the corresponding values be . If are nonzero, find the value of .
Solution
If is inversely proportional to , then the product is a constant. For and this implies: We can divide both sides of this equation by to find:
Final answer
\frac{3}{2}
