(a)
Find the situation represent a direct or inverse variation.
(a)
Answer to Problem 18STP
The situation represents the inverse variation.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A cyclist travels from Centerville to Springfield in 2.5 hours. If she increases her speed, she can make the trip in 2 hours.
Does this situation represent a direct or inverse variation?
Concept Used:
In direct variation, as one number increases, so does the other. This is also called direct proportion: they're the same thing. An example of this is relationship between age and height.
In inverse variation, it's exactly the opposite: as one number increases, the other decreases.
As the speed is increasing and time is decreasing, it is inverse variation.
Thus, the situation represents the inverse variation.
(b)
Find the speed be to make the trip from Centerville to Springfield in 2 hours
(b)
Answer to Problem 18STP
Speed = 15 miles / hour
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A cyclist travels from Centerville to Springfield in 2.5 hours. If she increases her speed, she can make the trip in 2 hours.
If the trip from Centerville to Springfield takes 2.5 hours when travelling at 12 miles per hour, what must be the speed be to make the trip in 2 hours?
Concept Used:
Calculation:
The distance between Centerville to Springfield is 30 miles.
Thus, the speed should be 15 miles / hour to complete the journey from Centerville to Springfield in 2 hours.

Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.arrow_forward
