What kind of situation does direct variation describe?
When one set of data increases, the other set of data increases. When one set of data decreases, the other set of data decreases.
100
What type of situation does in inverse variation describe?
When one set of data is increasing, the other set is decreasing.

Define function.
A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output (range) value for each input (domain) value.

Describe function notation
A function is in function notation when you use f(x) to indicate outputs. You read f(x) as "f of x" or "f is a function of x". The notations g(x) and h(x) also indicate functions of x.
