What is direct proportion and inverse. Direct and inverse proportional dependencies

Dependency Types

Consider battery charging. As the first value, let's take the time it takes to charge. The second value is the time that it will work after charging. The longer the battery is charged, the longer it will last. The process will continue until the battery is fully charged.

The dependence of battery life on the time it is charged

Remark 1

This dependency is called straight:

As one value increases, the other also increases. As one value decreases, the other value also decreases.

Let's consider another example.

The more books the student reads, the fewer mistakes he will make in the dictation. Or the higher you climb the mountains, the lower the atmospheric pressure will be.

Remark 2

This dependency is called reverse:

As one value increases, the other decreases. As one value decreases, the other value increases.

Thus, in the case direct dependency both quantities change in the same way (both either increase or decrease), and in the case inverse relationship- opposite (one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa).

Determining dependencies between quantities

Example 1

The time it takes to visit a friend is $20$ minutes. With an increase in speed (of the first value) by $2$ times, we will find how the time (second value) that will be spent on the path to a friend will change.

Obviously, the time will decrease by $2$ times.

Remark 3

This dependency is called proportional:

How many times one value changes, how many times the second will change.

Example 2

For a $2 loaf of bread in a store, you have to pay 80 rubles. If you need to buy $4$ loaves of bread (the amount of bread increases $2$ times), how much more will you have to pay?

Obviously, the cost will also increase by $2$ times. We have an example of proportional dependence.

In both examples, proportional dependencies were considered. But in the example with loaves of bread, the values ​​\u200b\u200bchange in one direction, therefore, the dependence is straight. And in the example with a trip to a friend, the relationship between speed and time is reverse. Thus, there is directly proportional relationship And inversely proportional relationship.

Direct proportionality

Consider $2$ proportional quantities: the number of loaves of bread and their cost. Let $2$ loaves of bread cost $80$ rubles. With an increase in the number of rolls by $4$ times ($8$ rolls), their total cost will be $320$ rubles.

The ratio of the number of rolls: $\frac(8)(2)=4$.

Roll cost ratio: $\frac(320)(80)=4$.

As you can see, these ratios are equal to each other:

$\frac(8)(2)=\frac(320)(80)$.

Definition 1

The equality of two relations is called proportion.

With a directly proportional relationship, a ratio is obtained when the change in the first and second values ​​\u200b\u200bis the same:

$\frac(A_2)(A_1)=\frac(B_2)(B_1)$.

Definition 2

The two quantities are called directly proportional if, when changing (increasing or decreasing) one of them, the other value changes (increases or decreases accordingly) by the same amount.

Example 3

The car traveled $180$ km in $2$ hours. Find the time it takes for him to cover $2$ times the distance with the same speed.

Solution.

Time is directly proportional to distance:

$t=\frac(S)(v)$.

How many times the distance will increase, at a constant speed, the time will increase by the same amount:

$\frac(2S)(v)=2t$;

$\frac(3S)(v)=3t$.

The car traveled $180$ km - in the time of $2$ hour

The car travels $180 \cdot 2=360$ km - in the time of $x$ hours

The more distance the car travels, the more time it will take. Therefore, the relationship between the quantities is directly proportional.

Let's make a proportion:

$\frac(180)(360)=\frac(2)(x)$;

$x=\frac(360 \cdot 2)(180)$;

Answer: The car will need $4$ hours.

Inverse proportionality

Definition 3

Solution.

Time is inversely proportional to speed:

$t=\frac(S)(v)$.

How many times the speed increases, with the same path, the time decreases by the same amount:

$\frac(S)(2v)=\frac(t)(2)$;

$\frac(S)(3v)=\frac(t)(3)$.

Let's write the condition of the problem in the form of a table:

The car traveled $60$ km - in the time of $6$ hours

A car travels $120$ km - in a time of $x$ hours

The faster the car, the less time it will take. Therefore, the relationship between the quantities is inversely proportional.

Let's make a proportion.

Because proportionality is inverse, we turn the second ratio in proportion:

$\frac(60)(120)=\frac(x)(6)$;

$x=\frac(60 \cdot 6)(120)$;

Answer: The car will need $3$ hours.

2.2. Consider the relationship between known quantities (7 min)

- the path traveled by the car at a constant speed, and the time of its movement: S = v t ( with an increase in speed (time), the path increases);
- the speed of the car and the time spent on the road: v=S:t(with an increase in the time to travel the path, the speed decreases);
– the cost of goods purchased at one price and its quantity: C \u003d a n (with an increase (decrease) in price, the cost of purchase increases (decreases);
- the price of the product and its quantity: a \u003d C: n (with an increase in quantity, the price decreases)
- the area of ​​the rectangle and its length (width): S = a b (with an increase in the length (width), the area increases;
- the length of the rectangle and the width: a = S: b (with an increase in the length, the width decreases;
- the number of workers performing some work with the same labor productivity, and the time it takes to complete this work: t \u003d A: n (with an increase in the number of workers, the time spent on doing work decreases), etc.

We have obtained dependencies in which, with an increase in one value several times, the other immediately increases by the same amount (shown with arrows for examples) and dependencies in which, with an increase in one value several times, the second value decreases by the same number of times.
Such relationships are called direct and inverse proportions.
Directly proportional dependence- a dependence in which with an increase (decrease) in one value several times, the second value increases (decreases) by the same amount.
Inverse proportional relationship- a dependence in which with an increase (decrease) in one value several times, the second value decreases (increases) by the same amount.

Linear function

Linear function is a function that can be given by the formula y = kx + b,

where x is an independent variable, k and b are some numbers.

The graph of a linear function is a straight line.

The number k is called slope of a straight line– graph of the function y = kx + b.

If k > 0, then the angle of inclination of the straight line y = kx + b to the axis X spicy; if k< 0, то этот угол тупой.

If the slopes of the lines that are graphs of two linear functions are different, then these lines intersect. And if the slopes are the same, then the lines are parallel.

Function Graph y=kx +b, where k ≠ 0, is a line parallel to the line y = kx.

direct proportion.

Direct proportionality is a function that can be specified by the formula y = kx, where x is an independent variable, k is a non-zero number. The number k is called direct proportionality coefficient.

The graph of direct proportionality is a straight line passing through the origin (see figure).

Direct proportionality is a special case of a linear function.

Function Propertiesy=kx:

Inverse proportionality

Inverse proportionality is a function that can be defined by the formula:

k
y=-
x

Where x is an independent variable, and k is a non-zero number.

An inverse proportional graph is a curve called hyperbole(see picture).

For a curve that is a graph of this function, the axes x And y act as asymptotes. Asymptote is the straight line approached by the points of the curve as they move away to infinity.

Today we will look at what quantities are called inversely proportional, what the inverse proportionality graph looks like, and how all this can be useful to you not only in mathematics lessons, but also outside the school walls.

Such different proportions

Proportionality name two quantities that are mutually dependent on each other.

Dependence can be direct and reverse. Therefore, the relationship between quantities describe direct and inverse proportionality.

Direct proportionality- this is such a relationship between two quantities, in which an increase or decrease in one of them leads to an increase or decrease in the other. Those. their attitude does not change.

For example, the more effort you put into preparing for exams, the higher your grades will be. Or the more things you take with you on a hike, the harder it is to carry your backpack. Those. the amount of effort spent on preparing for exams is directly proportional to the grades received. And the number of things packed in a backpack is directly proportional to its weight.

Inverse proportionality- this is a functional dependence in which a decrease or increase by several times of an independent value (it is called an argument) causes a proportional (i.e., by the same amount) increase or decrease in a dependent value (it is called a function).

Let's illustrate with a simple example. You want to buy apples in the market. The apples on the counter and the amount of money in your wallet are inversely related. Those. the more apples you buy, the less money you have left.

Function and its graph

The inverse proportionality function can be described as y = k/x. In which x≠ 0 and k≠ 0.

This function has the following properties:

1. Its domain of definition is the set of all real numbers except x = 0. D(y): (-∞; 0) U (0; +∞).
2. The range is all real numbers except y= 0. E(y): (-∞; 0) U (0; +∞) .
3. It has no maximum or minimum values.
4. Is odd and its graph is symmetrical about the origin.
5. Non-periodic.
6. Its graph does not cross the coordinate axes.
7. Has no zeros.
8. If k> 0 (that is, the argument increases), the function decreases proportionally on each of its intervals. If k< 0 (т.е. аргумент убывает), функция пропорционально возрастает на каждом из своих промежутков.
9. As the argument increases ( k> 0) the negative values ​​of the function are in the interval (-∞; 0), and the positive values ​​are in the interval (0; +∞). When the argument is decreasing ( k< 0) отрицательные значения расположены на промежутке (0; +∞), положительные – (-∞; 0).

The graph of the inverse proportionality function is called a hyperbola. Depicted as follows:

Inverse Proportional Problems

To make it clearer, let's look at a few tasks. They are not too complicated, and their solution will help you visualize what inverse proportion is and how this knowledge can be useful in your everyday life.

Task number 1. The car is moving at a speed of 60 km/h. It took him 6 hours to reach his destination. How long will it take him to cover the same distance if he moves at twice the speed?

We can start by writing down a formula that describes the relationship of time, distance and speed: t = S/V. Agree, it very much reminds us of the inverse proportionality function. And it indicates that the time that the car spends on the road, and the speed with which it moves, are inversely proportional.

To verify this, let's find V 2, which, by condition, is 2 times higher: V 2 \u003d 60 * 2 \u003d 120 km / h. Then we calculate the distance using the formula S = V * t = 60 * 6 = 360 km. Now it is not difficult to find out the time t 2 that is required from us according to the condition of the problem: t 2 = 360/120 = 3 hours.

As you can see, travel time and speed are indeed inversely proportional: with a speed 2 times higher than the original one, the car will spend 2 times less time on the road.

The solution to this problem can also be written as a proportion. Why do we create a diagram like this:

↓ 60 km/h – 6 h

↓120 km/h – x h

Arrows indicate an inverse relationship. And they also suggest that when drawing up the proportion, the right side of the record must be turned over: 60/120 \u003d x / 6. Where do we get x \u003d 60 * 6/120 \u003d 3 hours.

Task number 2. The workshop employs 6 workers who cope with a given amount of work in 4 hours. If the number of workers is halved, how long will it take for the remaining workers to complete the same amount of work?

We write the conditions of the problem in the form of a visual diagram:

↓ 6 workers - 4 hours

↓ 3 workers - x h

Let's write this as a proportion: 6/3 = x/4. And we get x \u003d 6 * 4/3 \u003d 8 hours. If there are 2 times fewer workers, the rest will spend 2 times more time to complete all the work.

Task number 3. Two pipes lead to the pool. Through one pipe, water enters at a rate of 2 l / s and fills the pool in 45 minutes. Through another pipe, the pool will be filled in 75 minutes. How fast does water enter the pool through this pipe?

To begin with, we will bring all the quantities given to us according to the condition of the problem to the same units of measurement. To do this, we express the filling rate of the pool in liters per minute: 2 l / s \u003d 2 * 60 \u003d 120 l / min.

Since it follows from the condition that the pool is filled more slowly through the second pipe, it means that the rate of water inflow is lower. On the face of inverse proportion. Let us express the speed unknown to us in terms of x and draw up the following scheme:

↓ 120 l/min - 45 min

↓ x l/min – 75 min

And then we will make a proportion: 120 / x \u003d 75/45, from where x \u003d 120 * 45/75 \u003d 72 l / min.

In the problem, the filling rate of the pool is expressed in liters per second, let's bring our answer to the same form: 72/60 = 1.2 l/s.

Task number 4. Business cards are printed in a small private printing house. An employee of the printing house works at a speed of 42 business cards per hour and works full time - 8 hours. If he worked faster and printed 48 business cards per hour, how much sooner could he go home?

We go in a proven way and draw up a scheme according to the condition of the problem, denoting the desired value as x:

↓ 42 business cards/h – 8 h

↓ 48 business cards/h – xh

Before us is an inversely proportional relationship: how many times more business cards an employee of a printing house prints per hour, the same amount of time it will take him to complete the same job. Knowing this, we can set up the proportion:

42/48 \u003d x / 8, x \u003d 42 * 8/48 \u003d 7 hours.

Thus, having completed the work in 7 hours, the printing house employee could go home an hour earlier.

Conclusion

It seems to us that these inverse proportionality problems are really simple. We hope that now you also consider them so. And most importantly, knowledge of the inversely proportional dependence of quantities can really be useful to you more than once.

Not only in math classes and exams. But even then, when you are going to go on a trip, go shopping, decide to earn some money during the holidays, etc.

Example

Proportionality factor

The constant ratio of proportional quantities is called coefficient of proportionality. The proportionality coefficient shows how many units of one quantity fall on a unit of another.

Direct proportionality

Direct proportionality- functional dependence, in which some quantity depends on another quantity in such a way that their ratio remains constant. In other words, these variables change proportionately, in equal shares, that is, if the argument has changed twice in any direction, then the function also changes twice in the same direction.

Mathematically, direct proportionality is written as a formula:

f(x) = ax,a = const

Inverse proportionality

Inverse proportion- this is a functional dependence, in which an increase in the independent value (argument) causes a proportional decrease in the dependent value (function).

Mathematically, inverse proportionality is written as a formula:
