Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as the square of x then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x^2}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 2 when x = 4

k = yx² = 2 × 4² = 2 × 16 = 32, thus

y = [tex]\frac{32}{x^2}[/tex] ← equation of variation

When x = 4, then

y = [tex]\frac{32}{4^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{32}{16}[/tex] = 2
