Find yy when xx is inversely proportional to x\sqrt{x} and y=79y=79 when x=625x=625, given x=390625x=390625. (Round to nearest hundredth)

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The variable yy is inversely proportional to the square root of xx.
2. The value of yy is 79 when xx is 625.
3. We need to find the value of yy when xx is 390625.

STEP 2

Since yy is inversely proportional to the square root of xx, we can write this relationship as:
y=kxy = \frac{k}{\sqrt{x}}
where kk is the constant of proportionality.

STEP 3

We will use the given values of yy and xx to find the constant of proportionality kk.
79=k62579 = \frac{k}{\sqrt{625}}

STEP 4

Calculate the square root of 625.
625=25\sqrt{625} = 25

STEP 5

Substitute the square root of 625 into the equation to find kk.
79=k2579 = \frac{k}{25}

STEP 6

Multiply both sides of the equation by 25 to solve for kk.
79×25=k79 \times 25 = k

STEP 7

Calculate the value of kk.
k=79×25=1975k = 79 \times 25 = 1975

STEP 8

Now that we have the value of kk, we can use it to find yy when xx is 390625.
y=1975390625y = \frac{1975}{\sqrt{390625}}

STEP 9

Calculate the square root of 390625.
390625=625\sqrt{390625} = 625

STEP 10

Substitute the square root of 390625 into the equation to find yy.
y=1975625y = \frac{1975}{625}

STEP 11

Divide 1975 by 625 to calculate the value of yy.
y=1975625=3.16y = \frac{1975}{625} = 3.16
The value of yy when xx is 390625 is approximately 3.16 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
