Study Notes
Inverse Variation
- A relation where one variable increases as another decreases proportionally.
- Represented by an equation of the form y = k/x, where k is a constant.
Direct Variation
- A relation where one variable increases as another increases proportionally.
- Represented by an equation of the form y = kx, where k is a constant.
Combined Variation
- A relationship involving more than one variable. The variables may be related in ways that are direct or inverse.
Joint Variation
- A type of combined variation where one variable is directly proportional to two or more other variables.
- If z varies directly with x and y, it is represented as z = kxy where k is the constant of variation.
Mathematical Translation
- "The volume (V) of a cylinder varies jointly as the square of radius (r) and height (h)" translates to V = kr²h.
Direct Variation Problems
- If y varies directly with x, and y = 15 when x = 5, find y when x = 7.
- y = 21
Inverse Variation Problems
- If y varies inversely as x, what is x when y = 5 and k = 60?
- x = 12
Combined Variation Problems
- On a given planet, the weight (W) of an object varies directly with the mass (M) of the object. If the mass of a certain object is 4 kg when its weight is 24 N, what is the mass of another object that weights 18 N?
- 3 kg
Inverse Variation Problems
- The number of hours constructing a deep well is inversely proportional to the number of men doing it. It takes 10 hours for 2 men to construct the well. How many men were needed to finish in 4 hours?
- 5
Joint Variation Problems
- The area A of a triangle varies jointly as the base b and the height h. If A = 12m² when b = 6 and h = 4m, what is the new area when b increases by 2m and h increases by 4m? -32m²
Laws of Exponents
