Chapter 11: Q1. (page 731)

Determine whether each table represents an inverse variation. Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A table does not represent an inverse variation.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Inverse variation.

yvaries inversely as xif there is some nonzero constant ksuch that xy=k, where x≠0and y≠0.

02

Step 2. Find xy.

Find xyfor each ordered pair.

2⋅10=204⋅12=488⋅14=112

03

Step 3. Write the conclusion.

As xyis not constant, the table does not represent an inverse variation.
