Determine the type of variation, if any, between your distance from a school bell and the intensity at which you hear it ring. a. inversely c. jointly b. directly d. none of these

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ask yourself this: as you get closer does the bell get louder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so which of the following is true a) as the distance between you and the bell increases, the sound increases b) as the distance between you and the bell decreases, the sound increases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so as one variable goes down, the other goes up OR as one variable goes up, the other goes down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't that saying the same thing?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it is, I'm just trying to cover all bases

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I should be more specific as the distance goes down, the sound goes up OR as the distance goes up, the sound goes down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooohh. So that means inversely right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

inverse --> one goes up, the other goes down (or vice versa)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. Thank you!
