    Section 1.10
    49-52

    Question 49 describes direct variation where k = 2.

    Question 50 describes inverse variation where
    k = 2.

    Question 51 describes joint variation where k = 1/2.

    Question 52 describes direct variable and inverse variation where little k = 1/2.

    Yes?

    49, 50, and 51 correct
    52. is also a joint variation (direct variation to more than one variable)

    as an example in 51 of a joint variation is the area of a triangle:
    A=(1/2)bh
    We see that the area increases as the height and base length increase.

    Are you saying that 52 is wrong?

    Well, 3 out of 4 is not too bad.
