Who are the best scientist of world?
My dad is good at science (Y)
What do you call a proportion wherein one value increases and another value decreases?
You're thinking of 'inverse' proportion. Here's how it works. Let's say 'y' is proportional to 'x', meaning that a change in 'x' causes a change in 'y'. We also need a constant number, call it 'K'. If 'y' is directlyproportional to 'x', then they both change in the same direction. If 'x' doubles, then 'y' doubles. If 'x' gets 2.93 times bigger, then 'y' also gets 2.93 times bigger etc. You'd express the relationship as: y=Kx. If 'y' is inverselyproportional to 'x', then they change in opposite directions, as you described in your question. If 'x' doubles, then 'y' decreases to 1/2 of what it was originally. If 'x' gets 10 times as big, then 'y' becomes 1/10 as big. This relationship is written: y = K/x.
What is an example of inversely proportional?
If quantity A is directly proportional to another quantity B, it means that if B is doubled so is A. When B is tripled so is A. It also works in the other direction; if A is tripled so is B. It works for any factor. In mathematical terms one may write: A = C * B Where C is some numerical constant.
What is a good Y word for a abc book on energy?
Check on The internet How about "year"...how much energy could be saved in a year if we only whatevered...
What are the defects of compound pendulum?
(i) The compound pendulum tends to drag some air with it and this increases the effective mass and hence the moment of inertia of the moving system. (ii) The amplitude of oscillationis finite which needs some correction. (Collected from Practical Physics B y Dr. Giasuddin Ahmad)
What happens to the value of y as x increases in the function y equals 2x-5?

What is the subtitution effect of a price change?
Say there are two goods..x and y, which can be substituted with each other..now if the price of good x increases..the consumer will buy less of good x and more of goods y. Since goods x and y are substitute goods..so change in price of goods x will change the demand of good y..so price effect of substitute goods is positive.
What happens to the graph when x is nearly zero?
When x is nearly zero,y increases in value.
What happens to a line when the y-intercept is changed?
as the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line shifts up. as the y-intercept decreases, the graph of the line shifts down.
What happens when the y value increases does the x value increase decrease or stay the same?
The value of x is directly proportional to to the value of y.hence when the value of x increases the value of y decrteses and vice verse
What happens to the value of y as x increases if the slope is negative?
If the slope is negative, y decreases as x increases. The slope goes from top-left of the graph (Quadrant II) to the lower-right of the graph (Quadrant IV).
What is the pattern for y equals x plus 2?
y=x+2, as x increases, y increases
What is 14-y if I rewrite this expression to substitute y4. Then evaluate each expression?

How do you determine x and y in the same mathematical problem?
substitute 0 for y and solve for x. then substitute x for 0 and solve for why and you have the x and y coordinates
How do you find the x and y intercepts of an equation?
Substitute zero for x to find the y-intercept, and substitute zero for y to find the x-intercept.
How do you calulate intercept?
x-intercept: 1. substitute 0 for y 2. solve for x y-intercept: 1. substitute 0 for x 2. solve for y
What is the definition of substitute in algebra?
To put in something that represents something else.Ex: x=2 y=9Ex: x + y* You would substitute x with 2 and y with 9.
