Question 7

7.

If you need to drive 30 miles, you have many options. For instance, you can drive 15 miles per hour for 2 hours, 30 miles per hour for 1 hour, or 60 miles per hour for half an hour. Notice that when you double your speed, it takes half as much time to get to your destination.

Mathematicians describe this kind of relationship as inverse variation. Why do you suppose they use the word inverse to describe it?

Question 8

8.

Suppose you are hiking on a trail and find that the bridge over the river has been washed out, making a gap or discontinuity in the trail.

Sketch what you think a graph with a discontinuity might look like. Use contrasting colors.
