The equation is given by
As the value of one variable increases, the value of the other will decrease.
Consider the table of values.
x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
y | 120 | 60 | 40 | 30 | 24 |
Determine whether the table of values could represent an inverse variation between x and y.
Write a function relating y and x, given the table of values.
The relationship between the current, C, (in amperes) and resistance, R, (in ohms) in an electrical circuit is given by: C = \dfrac {200}{R}where the voltage provided to the circuit is 200\text{ V}.
An incomplete table of values for this relationship is given below.
R | 5 | 10 | 20 | 25 | 40 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
C | 8 |
Complete the table.
Sketch the relationship between the current and resistance.
The current in an electrical circuit is 50 amperes. Based on the model, determine the resistance.
The number of pizzas, n, that Charlotte can buy is in inverse variation to the price of each pizza, p. Charlotte bought 15 pizzas that cost \$8.00 each.
Find the constant of variation, k, between the number of pizzas and price of each pizza.
Express n in terms of p.
Find the number of pizzas that Charlotte can buy when the price of each pizza is \$12.00.
