Which of the following tables is an example of inverse variation?
A.
B.
C.
D.
My first answer is the A. , because i divide all of it and it's all equal
Choose the one where y is going the opposite way that x is going
But my answer is wrong, so not A.
Choose the one that as the value of x increases, y decreases or the value of x decreases, y increases.
Do you see why a is wrong? As x increases so does y
They must act inversely!
Because it's all equal? i mean if i divide x and y i get same answer
Should i divide or multiply ?
To find if the x is increasing or decreasing and y increasing or decreasing.
There is a table that as x increases y decreases. It is very simple to tell if x is increasin 2 4 6 8 10 increasing 10 8 6 4 2 decreasing. you just look at the sequence, if the next number is larger than the previous number it is increasing.
If i choose one more answer, i would go to C. because x is increasing and y is decreasing.
Let me look
c does have an inverse relationship, and that is what you were looking for.
Good luck with your studies.
Thanks for your time sir, you really helped my a a lot :)) I got a big test for tomorrow so i really need to study :)
I wish you are my teacher online with public service.
Is English your first language?
No sir, Filipino is my first language :))
I am thinking that you may difficulty understanding me, but I think you do now know the difference between direct and inverse relations. Again good luck with your studies.
Yes sir i have a little bit difficulty to understand you but, i get it now :))
Ciao
That was Italian good bye, is Filipino Spanish or is it a unique language?
They have a similar words. I don't know, it's hard to explain :))
