JOINT AND COMBINED

VARIATIONS
PREPARED BY:JESRAEL B. VITIN
THE LEARNERS WILL BE ABLE TO:
• illustrate situations that involve joint variation and combined
variation;
• translate into variation statement a relationship involving joint
variation and combined variation between two quantities given by a
mathematical equation, and vice versa; and
• solve problems involving joint variations and combined variations
JOINT VARIATION
Translating statements into mathematical equations
using k as the constant of variation.
Examples:
1. T varies jointly as a and b.

2. The area(A) of a triangle varies

jointly as its base(b) and height(h).
Translating statements into mathematical equations
using k as the constant of variation.
Examples:
3. The volume of a cylinder V varies jointl
as its height (h) and the square of the
radius(r).
4. The force F applied to an object varies
jointly as the mass m and the acceleration a.
F=kma
Solution: Equation of variation

Therefore, the
required equation is
a=3bc.
Solution: Equation of variation

The equation of
variation is
Solution: A=kbh Equation of variation

 1. If z varies directly as x and inversely as y, and z = 9
when x = 6 and y = 2, find z when x = 8 and y = 12.

Solution: The Now, solve for z when x=8 and

equation is y=12.
Using the equation
“Patience is the key to solve
all problems.”
