Types of Mathematical Relationships
This page delves into specific types of mathematical relationships, focusing on proportional and inversely proportional mappings.
Definition: Proportionale zuordnung describes steady growth where the ratio between corresponding values remains constant .
Example: Using the bread price example, the proportionality factor is 2, as demonstrated by:
- 2:1 = 2
- 4:2 = 2
- 6:3 = 2
Highlight: Antiproportionale zuordnung describes inverse growth where the product of corresponding values remains constant.
Example: In a gardening scenario, as the number of gardeners increases, the time needed for work decreases, maintaining a constant product of 6:
- 1 gardener × 6 hours = 6
- 2 gardeners × 3 hours = 6
- 3 gardeners × 2 hours = 6
Vocabulary:
- Proportionalitätsfaktor: Proportionality factor
- Antiproportionalitätsfaktor: Inverse proportionality factor
