    Study Notes

    Direct Variation

    • A direct variation describes a relationship where one variable increases or decreases in proportion to another.
    • The formula for a direct variation is y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

    Inverse Variation

    • An inverse variation describes a relationship where one variable increases as the other decreases, and vice-versa.
    • The formula for an inverse variation is y = k/x, where k is the constant of variation.

    Joint Variation

    • A joint variation describes a relationship where one variable depends on two or more other variables.
    • For example, z = kxy, where z varies jointly as x and y, and k is the constant of variation.

    Combined Variation

    • Combined variation is a general term that combines different types of variations.
    • This includes direct variation, inverse variation, and joint variation, in any combination.
