What is the definition of Inverse Proportionality?
y is inversely proportional to x if it is proportional to 1/x.
What does proportional and inversely proportional mean?
Two measures are proportional if both are zero at the same time, and increases of the same amount one are accompanied by increase of equal amounts in the other. Algebraically, Y = cX where c is some fixed number, called the constant of proportionality. Two variables W and Z are inversely proportional if W*Z = k for some fixed number - also called the constant of proportionality. The relationship may also be written as W = k/Z.
If you double the input of a function and it results in half the output and if you triple the input and it results in a third of the output what can be guessed about the function?
~the function is most likely inversely proportional. ~more input results in less output.
What statement is true about a graph of an inversely proportional relationship there is no x intercept and no y intercept there is only a x intercept there is only a y intercept or there is both x an?
The graph doesn't intersect either axis.
What is proportional relationship in math terms?
Two variables are proportional to one another if there is a simple relationship, of the following form:The variables X and Y are indirect proportion if Y = c*Xandinverse proportion if Y = d/X or, equivalently, X*Y = dfor some non-zero constants c and d, called the constants of proportionality.Note that if Y is inversely proportional to X, then Y is directly proportional to the variable 1/XThe graph of a direct proportion is a straight line through the origin, with slope = constant of proportionality.
