VARIATIONS

Translating into variation statement a relationship between two

quantities given by a table of values and a mathematical
equation
RECALL 1
Identify what type of variation (direct, indirect, joint,
combined) the following statements describe, then write
your answers on your answer sheet.
1. As the value x increases, the value of y decreases.
2. The value of y varies directly to two or more quantities.
3. As the value of x increases, the value of y also increases.
4. The value of 𝑦 varies directly to some quantities and
varies inversely to some other quantities.
5. As the value of y increases, the value of x decreases.
RECALL 2
Using k as the constant of variation, write the equation of the
variation of the following.
6. The weight (w) of an athlete is directly proportional to his
height (h)
7. P varies directly as the square of Q
8. The altitude (h) of a triangle with constant area varies
inversely as its base (b).
9. The pressure (P) of a gas varies jointly as its density (d), and
its absolute temperature (t).
10. F varies jointly as m1 and m2 and inversely as the square of d.
