For this case, what you should know is that the equations that represent an inverse variation are those that could not form a straight line, for example.
We have then:
Equation 1:
pv = 13
Rewriting:
p = 13 / v
P and v are represent an inverse variation.
Equation 2:
z = (2 / x)
z and x are represent an inverse variation.
Answer:
equations represented inverse variation are:
pv = 13
z = (2 / x)
Slope=3, Y-intercept=(0,-1)
What is the image, i can’t see it?
Answer:
Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.
<u>The area is:</u>
<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>
<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>
<u>The area is now:</u>
- (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
- 3x² + 4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
- x² - 2x - 8 = 0
- x² - 2x + 1 = 9
- (x - 1)² = 3²
- x - 1 = 3
- x = 4
The breadth was 4 m and the length 12 m
The -2 has a multiplicity of 2
Since the order of (x+2) is squared, i.e. power is 2
