Suppose that the number N of popsicles sold at the fair varies inversely to a price P. When the price of a popsicle is $2.75, the fair sells 156 popsicles. a) Find the constant of proportionality (k). b) Find the equation relating number N of popsicles sold and price P of the popsicle. c) How many popsicles will be sold if the price is raised to $3 per popsicle?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
