Question

In an inverse variation, what happens to the values of the two variables?

a.
they are both constant
c.
as one value increases, the other increases
b.
they both decrease
d.
as one value increases, the other decreases

Answer 1

d.
as one value increases, the other decreases
This is because when both values are multiplied, you get a constant so if one is increased the other needs to be reduced so their product can meet up with the constant
