    Inverse Variation
    ::反反变化

    Inverse variation  means that the product of  x and  y is a constant . We still call the constant the constant of proportionality or the constant of variation .
    ::反向变异意味着 x 和 y 的产物是一个常数。 我们仍称常数为相称性常数或变数常数 。

       Inverse Variation
    ::反反变化

    x y = k y = k x or y = k x n , k 0 ,   n > 0
      k is called the constant of proportionality or the constant of variation. We say, " y  varies inversely as x n " or " y  is  inversely proportional to  x. "

    We say that " y varies inversely as  x, " or " y is inversely proportional to  x ." 
    ::我们说,“与x的反差是相反的,”或者“与x成反比。”

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Determine if the set of data varies directly, inversely, or neither. Find the equation if possible.
    ::确定数据集是否直接、反向变化或两者无变化。 可能的话找到方程式 。

    x 1 2 3 4
    y 12 6 4 3

    Solution: Looking at the set of data, you cannot get the   y -values from the  x -values by multiplying by the same constant:  1 12 = 12 , 2 3 = 6 . So the data is not directly proportional.
    ::解决方案 : 查看数据集时, 您无法通过乘以相同的常数来从 x 值中获取 Y 值 : 1 = 12= 12 2 3 = 6 。 因此, 数据不直接成比例 。

    To determine if the data is inversely proportional, we can multiply the x- and  y -values to see if the product is constant.  
    ::为了确定数据是否反比,我们可以乘以 x 和 Y 值,看产品是否不变。

    k = 1 12 = 12 k = 2 6   = 12 k = 3 4   = 12 k = 4 3   = 12

    ::k=1*12=12k=2*6=12k=3*4=12k=4*3=12

    For each set of points, k = 12 . Therefore , the data are inversely proportional and the equation is y = 12 x .
    ::对于每组点, k=12。 因此, 数据是反比例的, 方程式是 y= 12x 。

    If we cannot find a constant,  k  for each pair of data points, then this set is  neither directly or indirectly proportional.
    ::如果我们无法为每对数据点找到一个常数 k, 那么这组数据既不直接或间接成比例 。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    The variables x and y vary inversely, and y = 7 when x = 2 . Write an equation that relates x and y and find y when x = 6 .
    ::变量 x 和 y 反向变化, y= 7 当 x= 2 时, y= 7 。 写入一个与 x 和 y 相关的方程式, 然后在 x \ 6 时找到 y 。

    Solution: Using the inverse variation equation, we can substitute in x and y and solve for k .
    ::解答: 使用反变异方程式, 我们可以替换 x 和 y , 并解决 k 。

    k = x y k = 2 7 k = 14

    ::k=xyk=2=7k=14

    Therefore, the equation is y = 14 x . To find y when x is -6, we have y = 14 6 = 7 3 .
    ::因此,公式是y=14x。在 x - 6 时找到y,我们有y=14-673。

    ::由 CK-12 解释 。

     

    Example 3
    ::例3

    x   and   y   vary inversely. When  x = 3 , y = 5 . Find the equation and determine   x   when y = 12 .
    ::x 和 y 反差。 当 x= 3, y = 5 时, 查找方程, 确定 x y = 12 时 。

    Solution:   First, solve for k .
    ::解答: 第一, K的解答 。

    k = x y 3 5 = 15 y = 15 x

    ::k=xy=3=5=5=15=15x

    Now, substitute in 12 for  y  and solve for  x .
    ::现在,以 y 12 取代 y , 用 x 解析 。

    12 = 15 x 12 x = 15 x = 5 4

    ::1215x12x15x54

    Example 4
    ::例4

    The force, F , required for a karate student to break a board varies inversely with the board's length, L . It takes 21 pounds of pressure to break a board that is 3 feet long. How many pounds of pressure does it take to break a board that is 2 feet long?
    ::空手道学生打破板的力度 F 需要21磅的压力才能打破3英尺长的板。打破2英尺长的板需要多少磅的压力?

    Solution: We are told the force varies inversely with the board's length, so we can use the inverse variation equation y = k x . In this case, y equals the force and x equals the length of the board.
    ::解答: 我们被告知, 力因板的长度而异, 因此我们可以使用反变方程式y=kx。 在这种情况下, y等于力, x等于板的长度 。

    F = k L 21 = k 3 k = 63

    ::F=kL21=k3k=63

    We have found the constant of variation, so now we use the equation a second time to find the force when the length of the board is 2 feet.
    ::我们发现了变异的常数 所以现在我们第二次使用方程 来找到当板的长度是2英尺时的力量

    F = 63 2 F = 31.5

    ::F=632F=31.5

    Therefore 31.5 pounds of pressure are needed to break a board that is 2 feet long.
    ::因此,需要31.5磅的压力才能打破两英尺长的板块。

    by Mathispower4u de fines inverse variation and shows inverse variation examples .
    ::通过 Mathispower4u 定义反向变异, 并显示反向变异示例 。

     

     

    Example 5
    ::例5

    It takes one worker 12 hours to complete a specific job. If two workers do the same job, it takes them 6 hours to finish the job. If the time it takes to complete the job is inversely proportional to the number of workers, how long would it take 4 workers to do the same job?
    ::完成具体工作需要一名工人12小时,如果两名工人做同样的工作,他们需要6小时才能完成工作,如果完成工作所需的时间与工人人数成反比,4名工人做同样工作需要多长时间?

    Solution:  Since this is an inverse relationship, we need to find k:  k = 12 1 = 2 6 = 12 and the inverse variation equation is y = 12 x .
    ::解决方案 : 由于这是一个反向关系, 我们需要找到 k: k=121=26=12, 而反向变异方程式是 y=12x 。

    For 4 workers to complete the job, it would take y = 12 4 = 3  hours.
    ::4名工人完成工作需要y=124=3小时。

     

    Feature: Good Vibrations
    ::特点:良好振动

    by Ellen Lawsky
    ::埃伦·洛斯基(签名)

    Violins and cellos are both string instruments, which means that they both produce sound due to vibrating strings. So how do they still produce such different sounds?
    ::维伦斯和大提琴都是弦乐器,这意味着它们由于振动弦而产生声音。所以它们如何仍然产生这种不同的声音呢?

    A string vibrating at a low frequency will produce a lower pitch than a string vibrating at a high frequency. The tension, length, and thickness of a vibrating string all influence the frequency of that particular string. The length of the string and the thickness of the string are both inversely related to the vibrating frequency. As the length or thickness of the string increases, the frequency of vibration decreases, resulting in a lower pitch.
    ::在低频下振动的字符串将产生比在高频下振动的字符串更低的音调。振动字符串的张度、长度和厚度都会影响该字符串的频率。字符串的长度和厚度都与振动频率反相相关。随着字符串的长度或厚度增加,振动频率会降低,导致音调降低。

    While this relationship was known to Galileo, French mathematician Marin Mersenne ultimately proved this relationship, so it is called Mersenne's Law.
    ::虽然伽利略知道这种关系, 法国数学家Marin Mersenne最终证明了这种关系, 所以它被称为Mersenne的法律。

    How are these inverse relationships used in producing music? If you examine the difference between a violin and a cello, you will see that the strings on the cello are both longer and thicker than those on the violin. Thus, the cello has a lower pitch than the violin. With any given string instrument, a musician can also apply this knowledge of the inverse variation between a string’s length and its vibrating frequency (and thus pitch) as he or she fingers the strings. When different lengths of a certain string are allowed to vibrate, different pitches will be heard.
    ::这些反向关系是如何用于制作音乐的?如果你检查小提琴和大提琴之间的差别,你会看到大提琴的弦比小提琴的弦长,厚。因此大提琴的弦比小提琴低。有了任何给定的弦乐器,音乐家也可以在他或她指向弦时应用弦长度和振动频率(并由此推高)之间的反向变化知识。当允许某一弦的不同长度振动时,可以听到不同的弦。
