Question

The equation D=13/v shows that the density of a particular substance equals a mass of 13 grams divided by the volume of the substance. What happens to the density as the volume approaches 0?

The density approaches infinity.
The density approaches 0.
The density approaches 1.
The density approaches 13.

Answer 1

As the volume approaches 0,
The density approaches infinity

The graph of the equation is a hyperbola with the asymptote at v = 0. This means that when the value of v is very close to 0, the value of the density is very large.

Answer 2

For this case we have the following equation:

`D = (13)/(v)`
Where,
D: the density of a particular substance
v: the volume of the substance
When replacing v = 0 in the given equation we have:

`D = (13)/(0)`

`D = \infty`
This means that as the function acquires values very close to zero, the density acquires a very large value.
Answer:
as the volume approaches 0:
The density approaches infinity.
