Q:

Pleaseeee helpppppp I’ll put you as brainliest!!!!What is an example of a direct variation? What is an example of an inverse variation? Where and how are these used in science and engineering?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: Direct variation - y = kx Inverse variation - y = k/xStep-by-step explanation: Direct variation is used when a function is directly proportionate by a constant variable. Inverse variation is used when a function is inversely proportionate by a constant variable. Direct variation can be used to calculate salaries, time, or distance relating to a constant variable that is graphed as a straight line. Inverse variation can be used to calculate populations relating to a constant variable that is graphed as a curve.
