2) The time, t, needed to complete a certain race varies inversely as the runner’s average speed, s. If a runner with an average speed of 8.82 mi/h completes the race in 2.97 h, what is the average speed of a runner who completes the race in 3.5 h?
Data Representation Direct and inverse variations equations can be solve for k. Use these equations to see if given data is representing either type of variation
EX: Determine whether each data represents a direct variation, an inverse variation, or neither. 1) 2) 3) x y840.5 x5812 y x368 y51421
