<p>procrastinate i don't get your explanation T_T</p>
<p>nobody takes it on sunday?</p>
<p>people for religious etc reasons who can't take on Saturday, messes with curve</p>
<p>crosscurrent, by using x=1/y you are already making it inv. proportional so you were right until you inv. proportional'd it again</p>
<p>quarkdom: wrong, sunday test is slightly different and the % of people that take it is so small it doesn't affect the curve</p>
<p>lol i hope its 1/y^2
because i looked at it and chose that one.
educated guess! im lame</p>
<p>they have a completely different test that is administered on sundays tho</p>
<p>but all the manipulation was still done while it was inversely proportional.
The problem asked when 1/x^2 was directly proportional</p>
<p>damnit, i cant remember what i put for the x y proportionality one. someone write otu teh question so i can do ita gain.</p>
<p>x and y are inversely proportional.
which of the following is directly proportional to 1/(x^2)?</p>
<p>crosscurrent - this is kind of repeating what i said before but it's really the only way to explain it. the variables x and y are inversely proportional. that means that x=1/y is the DIRECT relationship between the two variables.
therefore when you plug in (1/y) to x, you already have a directly proportional equation. simple as that.</p>
<p>when you plug in 1/y into x.... o well i'll just think i got it wrong</p>
<p>direct propertion one. i chose y^2. why? because a divine force told me to.</p>
<p>its always the divine force.......................
lols</p>
<p>wait no its y^2, its some very confusing logic so try to follow:</p>
<p>ok so xy or inversely proportional so lets say xy=10 so (x,y) exists at (5,2) and (10,1) so 1/x^2 gets smaller as x gets bigger. (when x=10 its 1/100).
its asking what is directly proportional to 1/x^2. well since 1/X^2 gets smaller as x gets bigger, than whatever is directly proportional to 1/X^2 has to get smaller as x gets bigger.
What do we know that gets smaller as x gets bigger? y. and since y gets smaller as x gets bigger, so does y^2.</p>
<p>In short: 1/x^2 is inversely proportional to X
y&y^2 are inversely proportional to X
Thus, y^2 is directly proportional to 1/X^2</p>
<p>YESSS I DID IT!!!</p>
<p>x=1/y b/c inv. prop.
1/x^2, so you plug in x
1/(1/y)^2=1/(1/y^2)=y^2</p>
<p>you guys are stupid. 1/y^2.</p>
<p>xy=c is proportional
xc=yc for direct
1/x=1/y, still direct
and finally!
1/x^2 = 1/y^2! genius! not really, you guys are making this problem way too hard. this is the simplest way of looking at it (though it shortchanges actual math. oh well. you guys get the picture.</p>
<p>ok chone, the original equation was 1/x^2</p>
<p>if you got 1/y^2, that means x=y, and it explicitly stated that x was inversely proportional to y</p>
<p>so it's 1/y^2????????????????
who's right?!?!??!
i'm getting anxious here.</p>
<p>does anyone remember the choices for the purpose of the quote in the 1st passage about cloves</p>
<p>I think I put to support a provocative statement... because it says that the cloves were the first people to inhabit america</p>
<p>Others are saying that it was to summarize common knowledge; however, I believe that it wasn't really common knowledge</p>
<p>I put common knowledge.. I don't think provocative would work because doesn't it have a semi-negative connotation, like purposely trying to anger someone? The statement definitely wasn't trying to anger or irritate someone.</p>
<p>What was the statement</p>
