Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and evaluated by the Development and
Quality Assurance Teams of SDO TAPAT to assist you in helping the learners meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own learning.
Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks
included in the module.

For the learner:

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for guided
and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be helped to process the
contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the module.
Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer Let’s Try before moving on to the other activities included in the
module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and in checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to
consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and gain deep
understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!
 Let’s Learn

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master Variation.
The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged
to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. illustrate situations that involve the following variations:
(a) joint and
(b) combined;
2. translate into variation statement a relationship between two quantities given a
mathematical equation; and
3. solve problems involving variation.

Let’s Explore

Do these vehicles have the same tires?

Why do you think tires vary from one vehicle to
another?
What do you think are the factors affecting the kind
of tires used in a specific vehicle?

The size of a tire and thickness of the rubber used consider the weight of the vehicle to
balance and maximize its efficiency. The weight of the vehicle is said to varies jointly as the
size of tires and thickness of the rubber in fabricating the wheels. Also, the terrain where the
vehicle will primarily be used, among others are taken into consideration.
0.25𝑊𝑊
Tire pressure also varies. The formula 𝑃𝑃 = gives the recommended tire pressure for
𝐴𝐴
each tire for the total weight (𝑊𝑊) of a vehicle and the area (𝐴𝐴) of the ground covered by tire.
Notice that pressure varies directly as the weight of the vehicle and inversely as the area of
0.25𝑊𝑊
the ground. The formula 𝑃𝑃 = is an example of combined variation.
𝐴𝐴
 Let’s Explain, Analyze & Solve

Relationship between one variable over another variable were given emphasis in the
previous discussion. Relationship could be directly or inversely proportional, but sometimes
one variable may vary directly /or inversely with more than one variable.
One variable may vary as the product of several variables (even if it is raised to a certain
exponent). The variable is said to vary jointly as the others, thus the relation is called joint
variation.

In the equation, 𝒚𝒚 = 𝒌𝒌𝒌𝒌𝒌𝒌, y is said to varies jointly as x and z, likewise in 𝑎𝑎 = 𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑐𝑐 2 , a varies
jointly as b and the square c.

In the equation 𝐲𝐲 = , y is said to vary directly as x and inversely as z. Equation
𝐳𝐳
composed of both direct and inverse variation is called combined variation.

Example 1: If y varies jointly as x and z, and 𝑦𝑦 = 6 when 𝑥𝑥 = 10 and 𝑧𝑧 = 8, find y
