Hi!!!
I didn't understand these problem, so I was wondering if you could explain how to do them for me. I was going to ask the teacher but she had already left the campus.
Thank You!!

Hi!
I'd be happy to explain these concepts to you.
1. When an increase in the value of one variable quantity corresponds to a decrease in the value of another, the two quantities are said to be inversely related.
To understand this better, let's consider an example. Suppose you are driving a car and you increase your speed. As your speed increases, the time it takes to complete a fixed distance decreases. In this example, the speed and time are inversely related because as one quantity increases, the other decreases.
2. When an increase in the value of one variable quantity corresponds to an increase in the value of another, the two quantities are said to be directly related or directly proportional.
Continuing with the car example, let's now say that if you increase your speed, the distance traveled in a fixed time also increases. In this case, the speed and distance are directly related because as one quantity increases, the other also increases.
3. When a decrease in the value of one variable quantity corresponds to a decrease in the value of another, the two quantities are said to be inversely related.
Consider an example of a factory. As the number of workers decreases, the productivity of the factory also decreases. In this case, the number of workers and productivity are inversely related because as one quantity decreases, the other also decreases.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the concepts of direct and inverse relationships between variables. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
