i would tell him that if it didnt involve ounces, liters, or odds to a flush on the flop, his examples mean nothing to me. | |

yeah, upon further review (meaning more serious this time), i dont get it. | |

Ok this is remedial math so I'd be happy if my kids knew it was inverse in some way! | |

Ja is right, teacher is wrong, 2nd answer Ja gave is wrong but I understand how he came to it. | |

I'm pretty sure the answer is A if the answer has to be linear and not something else. | |

Yeah if the answer wasn't linear it would resemble the function f(x)=1/x which would be asymptote to the x and y axis, but that answer wouldn't make any sense, since if volume decreases pressure doesn't increase at an increasing rate. | |

yah, the question is fucked. The qusetion should have been about a cylinder with a piston being pushed down. And yah, I can see that the equation is not linear now. If you are not accounting for the balloon popping or the cylinder busting, then the graph would just look like a exponential decline (dont know if thats what its really called but w/e.) Either way the line will never intercept the axis. | |

I'm pretty sure the relationship is best modeled linearly rather than 1/x. It's not like as we squeeze the ballon more the pressure increases at an increasing rate no? Or is this not the case? | |

actually it is. Like I said the balloon is a terrible example, but think of a sealed cylinder with a piston in it. You press down on the piston and it is relatively easy to begin. Think when it gets to the point were its difficult to push, you only have to decrease the volume by a bit to increase the pressure at a greater rate. If it were linear it would be just as easy to push the piston down as it approaches the retaining wall as it was when it was fully uncompressed. | |
