Electricity and Mathematics: Understanding Inverse Proportion

The video tutorial explains inverse proportion, where one value increases as another decreases at the same rate. It introduces the equation y = k/x, where k is the constant of proportionality. The tutorial covers applications in science, such as gas volume and pressure, and provides step-by-step examples of solving inverse proportion problems. It also addresses nonlinear cases involving squared terms, emphasizing the importance of understanding the equation y = k/x for forming equations and finding constants.

How would you set up an equation for a problem where p is inversely proportional to t?

What steps would you take to solve for p when t equals 8 in the equation p = k/t?

Describe how to handle a situation where the relationship is nonlinear, such as when x is inversely proportional to f squared.
