Use the four-step procedure for solving variation problems given on page 424 to solve. \(y\) varies directly as \(x . y=45\) when \(x=5 .\) Find \(y\) when \(x=13 .\)
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. My graph of \(y=\frac{x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)}\) has vertical asymptotes at \(x=1\) and \(x=2\)
Use a graphing utility to graph \(y=\frac{1}{x^{2}}, y=\frac{1}{x^{4}},\) and \(y=\frac{1}{x^{6}}\) in the same viewing rectangle. For even values of \(n\), how does changing \(n\) affect the graph of \(y=\frac{1}{x^{2}} ?\)
Begin by deciding on a product that interests the group because you are now in charge of advertising this product. Members were told that the demand for the product varies directly as the amount spent on advertising and inversely as the price of the product. However, as more money is spent on advertising, the price of your product rises. Under what conditions would members recommend an increased expense in advertising? Once you've determined what your product is, write formulas for the given conditions and experiment with hypothetical numbers. What other factors might you take into consideration in terms of your recommendation? How do these factors affect the demand for your product?
Use a graphing utility to graph \(y=\frac{1}{x}, y=\frac{1}{x^{3}},\) and \(\frac{1}{x^{5}}\) in the same vicwing rectangle. For odd values of \(n\), how does changing \(n\) affect the graph of \(y=\frac{1}{x^{m}} ?\)
