Inverse Variation and Graphing
Objectives Identify Inverse Variations Graphing inverse variations
Reminder What is direct variation? What does the graph look like? Form of Example:
Inverse Variation What might inverse variation mean? What does the graph look like? Form of: OR: Ex.
Inverse Variation Example Graph the relationship between a bike’s speed and the time it takes to travel 24 miles.
Identify Direct or Inverse Is the relationship between the variables a direct variation, an inverse variation, or neither? Sketch a quick graph. 1) Is Y Increasing/decreasing with X? 2) Is there a consistent relationship? 3) Sketch quick graph
Graphing Inverse Variation Draw a graph for
Asymptotes? For What are the asymptotes for the function? What is the Domain? What is the Range?
Comparing Graphs On the graphing calculator, let’s graph: How are these graphs similar/different? Describe any symmetry you see.
