Given that y is inversely proportional to x^2 and x is always positive. If y=27 when x = 6, calculate the value of x when y=8.

6^2*27=972

8*x^2=972

x=sqrt(121.5)

So inversely proportional means that \(x^2y\) is always the same, and \(6\times6=36, 36\times27=972\)\(972/8=121.5\), so x is the square root of 121.5

Yes inverse proportion means the product is the same while direct proportion means the quotient is the same.
