Do you know the formula for inverse variation?

dezandalf42714 · Answer

I am new to this so no.

ok thanks

dannyo19 · Answer

So the second half of the video, you can get some ideas

dezandalf42714 · Answer

What would be an inverse relationship for it?

dannyo19 · Answer

xy=k 
 
So you need to think of an example where you have two variables that when multiplied yield constant.

dannyo19 · Answer

an other way to think about y=k/x

dannyo19 · Answer

k would be your constant of variation.

dezandalf42714 · Answer

ok so would you like to see my problem so far?

dannyo19 · Answer

sure

dezandalf42714 · Answer

ok


A scenario that would involve an inverse relationship would be If I drive to work every day the same distance and it takes me 30 minutes and I drive 20mph, the speed limit and now the speed limit is 40 how much time will it take me to get to work?

My variables will be k = xy so k is the constant (distance) and x and y will be x = 30 and y = 20.

I did 30 x 20 = 600

Then 600 divided by 40 to get 15

So it will now take her 15 minutes (half her original time) to get to work.

dannyo19 · Answer

So what you need rather are two variables that will multiply together always to yield on number.

dannyo19 · Answer

Clue: Try using a speed as a constant.  
What would you use for your two variables?

dezandalf42714 · Answer

ooh so you would do time and distance?

dezandalf42714 · Answer

oh ok

dannyo19 · Answer

Or you can think of something like length and width of a garden bed given it has to be certain area...

dezandalf42714 · Answer

ok

dannyo19 · Answer

The garden situation would work only if the area of the bed was not dependent on a depth of land.  (So the land is perfectly flat)

dezandalf42714 · Answer

ok

dezandalf42714 · Answer

thank you v

dannyo19 · Answer

Better example would be the dimensions of a rectangle like a computer screen if the surface area must be _____ some fixed amount of area.

dezandalf42714 · Answer

ok thank you
