Happy Tuesday!

Please get out a pencil and your WARM-UP paper from yesterday! Wait quietly for directions.

WARM-UP
(write your answers on your WARM-UP paper from Monday)

Using the formula area = length x width

2 And an area of 24 in. Complete the rest of the table

Length (in.) 1 Width (in.) 2
3 8

*HINT: USE THE BALANCING METHOD!

Let's try an experiment!

How many pennies can our bridges support without breaking?

Is this the graph of a linear relationship?

Do you see any relationships or patterns?

The relationship between Bridge length and breaking weight creates a nonlinear pattern called an inverse variation Bridge length experiment data

As one variable increases The other variable decreases

The relationship between two non-zero variables x and y, is an inverse variation if

where k is a constant that is not 0.

Are these equations the same?

Mr. Cordova lives in Detroit, Michigan. He often travels to Baltimore, Maryland, to visit his grandfather. The trip is 500 miles each way. Here are his notes for his trips to Baltimore last year.

Here are his notes for his trips to Baltimore last year.

Date February 15 May 22 July 3 November 23 December 23

Notes Traveled by plane. Drove. Drove. Stopped for reparis.

Travel Time 1.5 hours 10 hours 14 hours

Flew. Flight delayed. 4 hours Took overnight train. 18 hours

A. 1.Calculate the average speed in miles per hour for each trip, record results in the table

Cordova's Baltimore Trips

Travel Time (hours) Average Speed (mph)

2. Plot the data

What happens to average speed as travel time increases?

3. Write an equation for the relationship between travel time t and average speed s

Remember

Inverse Variation is a nonlinear relationship where one variable ______________________ as the other variable ________________________ and can be expressed by the equations _____________ _____________

Homework:
Using your equation from #4 find the average speed for 500-mile trips that take 6 hours, 8 hours, and 16 hours

You will using this worksheet tomorrow in class, and turning it in HOLD ON TO IT!
