Question

If v is one-third of the quantity 3 less than u, how does v change if u is increasing?

Answer 1

v increases when u increases

Explanation:

From the question, we have that

`v = u - (1)/(3) * 3`

`v = u - (3)/(3)`

`v = u - 1`

Take u = 1

`v = u - 1`

`v = 1 - 1`

`v = 0`

Take u = 2

`v = u - 1`

`v = 2 - 1`

`v = 1`

Take u = 10

`v = u - 1`

`v = 10 - 1`

`v = 9`

This implies that an increment in u brings an increment in v
