PRAYER BEFORE CLASS

Dear Lord and Father of all,

Thank you for Today,
Thank you for ways in which you provide us all,
for your protection and love, we thank you,
Help us to focus our hearts and minds,
On what we are about to learn,
Inspire us by your Holy Spirit as we listen and write,
Guide us by your Eternal Light as we discover more,
About the world around us,
We ask all this in the name of Jesus,
AMEN

TYPES OF VARIATION
• Direct Variation
• Inverse Variation
• Joint Variation
• Combined Variation
DIRECT VARIATION
There is direct variation whenever a situation produces pairs of numbers in which their ratio
is constant.
 
The statements:
“y varies directly as x”
“y is directly proportional to x” and
“y is proportional to x”
are translated mathematically as y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
 
For two quantities x and y, an increase in x causes an increase in y as well. Similarly, a decrease
in x causes a decrease in y.
INVERSE VARIATION
Inverse variation occurs whenever a situation produces pairs of numbers
whose product is constant.
For two quantities x and y, an increase in x causes a decrease in y or vice
versa. We can say that y varies inversely as x or y =k/x
 
JOINT VARIATION

• The statement a varies jointly as b and c means a = kbc, or k

=abc, where k is the constant of variation.
COMBINED VARIATION

• The statement t varies directly as x and inversely as y means t =kx/y, or k =ty/x, where k is the
constant of variation.
THE FORMULAS

• The formula for the area of the triangle.

Area =
A=
Thus, area is jointly proportional to the base and height and ½ is
the constant of variation.
THE FORMULAS

• The formula for speed.

Speed =
s=
Thus, speed is directly proportional to the distance and inversely
proportional to time.
DETERMINE IF THE TABLES BELOW EXPRESS A DIRECT VARIATION BETWEEN THE
VARIABLES. IF THEY DO, FIND THE CONSTANT OF VARIATION AND AN EQUATION
THAT DEFINES THE RELATION.

• Page 203 No. 4. The amount of paint p needed to paint the walls of a room varies
directly as the area A of the wall. If 2 gallons of paint is needed to paint a 40 sq meter
wall, how many gallons of paint are needed to paint a wall with an area of 100 sq
meters?
Paint (p) 2 gal ???gal

hours to travel from her house to their house in the province.
How long will it take her if she travels at 80 kilometers an hour?

when x = 3 and y = 15, find z when x = 6 and y = 9.
