I WILL FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which equations show direct variation between u and v? Choose all answers that are correct. A. V = 1/u + 6 B. v/u = 9 C. 0.5 (1/u) = V D. 3.5u = V

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can think of u direct variation with v when: if v increases than u increases linea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then it would be d and a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one, when u increases, V decreases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gelow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one, we have: \(v = 9u\), so when u increases, v also increases linearly by a factor of 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you think about C and D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for you help and i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think d could be right because u is multiplying 3.5 so it would be increasing v by 3.5 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's correct! and about option C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wouldnt be right because it is dividing so it would be decreasing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No... when u increases, v decreases, so it's not proportional directly variation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. i though it was proportional.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

proportional is when if u increases, v also increases. Otherwise it's non proportional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so was i right when i said it is a and d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have another question because i figured this one out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right, it's A and D
