    Direct, Inverse and Joint

    Variation
    Direct Variation
    • y varies directly as x if there is some nonzero
    constant k such that y = kx. k is called the
    constant of variation
    Example
    • If y varies directly as x and y = 9 when x is -15,
    find y when x = 21.
    3
    y  kx y x
    5
    9  k (15) 3
    y   (21)

     k

    y

    Inverse Variation
    • y varies inversely as x if there is some nonzero
    constant k such that xy = k or y = k/x
    Example
    • If y varies inversely as x and y = 4, when x = 12,
    find y when x = 5.
    k 48
    y y
    x x
    k
    4 48
    12 y
    5
    48  k
    Joint Variation
    • y varies jointly as x and z if there is some
    number k such that y = kxz, where x0
    and z0
    Example
    • The area A of a trapezoid varies jointly as the
    height h and the sum of its bases b1 and b2. Find
    the equation of joint variation if A = 48 in^3, h =
    8 in., b1 = 5 in. and b2 = 7 in.

    y  kxz

    k

    Practice
    • If y varies jointly as x and z and y = 45 when x
    = 9 and z = 15, find y when x = 25 and z = 12

    y  100
    Practice

    • If y varies inversely as x and y = ¼ when


    x = 24, find y when x = ¾

    y=8

    • If m varies directly as w and m = -15


    when w = 2.5, find m when w = 12.5

    Example

    • The power P in watts of an electrical


    circuit varies jointly as the resistance R
    and the square of the current I. For a 600-
    watt microwave oven that draws a current
    of 5.0 amperes, the resistance is 24 ohms.
    • What is the resistance of a 200-watt
    refrigerator that draws a current of 1.7
    amperes?
    P  kRI 2

    600  k (24)(5) 2

    600  k 600
    1 k P  RI 2

    200  R(1.7) 2

    200  R2.89
    69  R

    • The LEM (Lunar Exploration Module) used by
    astronauts to explore the moon’s surface during
    the Apollo space missions weighs about 30,000
    pounds on Earth. On the moon there is less
    gravity so it weighs less, meaning that less fuel
    is needed to lift off from the moon’s surface. The
    force of gravity on Earth is about 6 times as
    much as that on the moon. How much does the
    LEM weigh on the moon?

    Enter the number pounds in your clicker!


    Senteo Question
    Answer

    • y =kx
    • 30,000 = 6x
    • x = 5,000 lbs
