VARIATION
Combined Variation
 Describes a situation where a variable depends on
two (or more) other variables, and varies directly 
with some of them and varies inversely with
others (when the rest of the variables are held
constant).
Write an equation for the given
relationship:
 
1.  varies directly with inversely with the square of .

2.  varies directly with  and inversely with .


  𝑧
Solve the variation
It  is given that varies directly with square and inversely

with . Also, when , , . Find the value of z when and .


Application:
1.   The electrical resistance of a wire varies directly as its length and

inversely as the square of its diameter . If the resistance of 640 feet of


copper wire ​ inch in diameter is 16 ohms, find the resistance of 320 feet
of the same type of copper wire  ​ inch in diameter.
2. The volume of gas varies directly as the temperature and inversely as the
pressure. If the volume is 230 cubic centimeters when the temperature
is 300ºK and the pressure is 20 pounds per square centimeter, what is the volume
when the temperature is 270ºK and the pressure is 30pounds per square
centimeter?
