Let’s Review
All around us, some quantities are constant
and others are variable.
For instance the number of hours in a day is
constant,
but the number of hours of daylight in a day is
not.

A. Direct Variation
Two quantities are in direct variation if :

 the ratio between two quantities is constant, and

 when one quantity increases, the other also

increases, conversely,
when one quantity decreases, the other also
decreases

B. Inverse Variation
Two quantities are in inverse variation if :

 the product between two quantities is constant, and

 when one quantity increases, the other decreases,

conversely, when one quantity decreases, the
other increases.

C. Joint Variation

 It describes a situation where one variable depends

on two (or more) other variables and varies directly
as each of them when the others are held constant.

D. Combined Variation

 It 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)
