    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

    • The rule "add the exponents of the same base" describes the product of powers rule (e.g., xm * xn = xm+n).

    Simplifying Expressions

    • Simplify (a6b3c3)2/ (a15b20c5)
      • a-3b-17c1

    Evaluating Expressions

    • What is the evaluated value of (x4/ 5)2?
      • x8/ 25

    Other Problems

    • What is the simplest form of 8a4bc2d2/ 4a2c4d3e−3?
      • 2a2b/ c2d
