What do you know about direct proportion and inverse proportion?

direct proportion: y=kx inverse proportion: y=k/x


What is an inverse proportion?

Two variables are said to be in inverse proportion if their product is a constant.So, if X and Y are in inverse proportion, thenXY = k or Y = k/X for some constant k.If you double X then Y is halved. If you decrease X by a factor of 3 then Y is trebled.A common example is Speed and Time for covering a fixed Distance.


Graph of an inverse proportion is an?

The graph of the function y(x) = 1/x is a hyperbola.


What is an inverse proportion relationship?

An inverse proportion between two variables is when the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. Mathematically, this is shown as: x = k / yn where x and y are the two variables, and k and n are constants.


In inverse proportion x equals 2 and y equals 36 but what will y be when x equals 4?

Inverse proportion implies xy = c where c is the constant of [inverse] proportionality. x = 2 and y = 36 implies xy = 72 = c So the relationship is xy = 72 Then, if x = 4, y = 72/x = 72/4 = 18


How do you determine direct and inverse proportion on graphs?

If the variables x and y are in direct proportion then the graph of y against x is a straight line through the origin. If the variables x and y are in inverse proportion then the graph of y against x is a rectangular hyperbola. Alternatively, the graph of y against 1/x (or 1/y against x) is a straight line through the origin.


In an inverse relationship how do the values of y change as the values of x increase?

Y would decrease in value as X increases in value.


In an inverse relationship how do the values of y change as the values of x is decreased?

The value of y increases, such that x*y remains a constant.


Relationship between variables in direct proportionality and inverse proportionality?

Variables X and Y are in direct proportion is Y = c*X for some constant c (not zero). Then X increases whenever Y increases and conversely. Y increases by c times the increase in X. Variables X and Y are in inverse proportion is X*Y = k for some constant k (not zero). Then X increases whenevr Y decreases and conversely.


If y14 then x8 find y when x12?

It is not possible to answer the question since there is no information as to whether the relationship between x and y is one of direct proportion, inverse proportion or something else.


Is y x4 inverse?

To determine if ( y ) is the inverse of ( x^4 ), we need to check if ( y ) satisfies the equation ( y \cdot x^4 = 1 ) for all values of ( x ). If ( y ) is defined as ( \frac{1}{x^4} ), then it is indeed the inverse of ( x^4 ). Otherwise, ( y ) would not be considered the inverse. Therefore, it depends on how ( y ) is defined.


Definition of indirect proportion?

Indirect proportion is more famously known as Inverse Proportion. Inverse proportion is the exact opposite of Direct Proportion. Inverse Proportion -As one quantity increases other quantity decreases. An example problem: If 4 painters can paint a house in 6 days then how many days can 8 painters paint a house of the same size? To solve, use cross product 4 painters=6 days 8 painters=x 4x6=24 24/8=3 To paint the same house,8 painters need 3 days.
