Determine whether each table or equation represents an inverse or a direct variation. Explain.
$鈭� 2 x = y$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation represents a direct variation.

Step by step solution

Step 1. State the concept of direct variation and inverse variation.

The relationship of the form $y = k x, x = \frac{y}{k}, y = \frac{k}{x}$ is called direct variation.

Relationship of the form $x y = k$ or $y = \frac{k}{x}$ where $x, y 鈮� 0$ for some nonzero constant $k$ is known as inverse variation i.e., $y$ varies inversely as $x$ .

Step 2. Check for inverse variation.

The relationship of the form $x y = k$ is known as inverse variation. Observe that the given equation can be further simplified as:

$鈭� 2 x = y \frac{鈭� 2 x}{鈭� 2} = \frac{y}{鈭� 2} x = 鈭� \frac{y}{2}$

is not comparable with $x y = k$ i.e., the product is not constant so the equation doesn鈥檛 represent the inverse variation.

Step 3. Check for direct variation.

The relationship of the form $y = k x$ is known as direct variation. Comparing the given equation $x = 鈭� \frac{y}{2}$ & $x = \frac{y}{k}$ , observe that $k = 鈭� 2$ , therefore, the product is constant so the equation represents the direct variation.
