Write and us joint variation models
Assignment: 21-47 odd
Just a reminder from chapter 2Just a reminder from chapter 2
Direct VariationUse y=kx.
Means “y varies directlyvaries directly with x.”k is called the constant of variationconstant of variation.

“y varies inverselyvaries inversely with x.”k is the constant of variationconstant of variation.

xy = k Indirect VariationNotice
Ex: tell whether x & y show direct variation, inverse variation, or neither.
a. xy=4.8
b. y=x+4
c. 1.5

Hint: Solve the equation for y and take notice of
the relationship.

Direct Variation
Ex: The variables x & y vary inversely, and y=8 when x=3.
• Write an equation that relates x & y.
k=24• Find y when x= -4.
y= -6

Joint Variation
• When a quantity varies directly as the product of 2 or more other quantities.
• For example: if z varies jointly with x & y, then z=kxy.
• Ex: if y varies inversely with the square of x, then y=k/x2.
• Ex: if z varies directly with y and inversely with x, then z=ky/x.
Examples: Write an equation.
• y varies directly with x and inversely with z2.• y varies inversely with x3.• y varies directly with x2 and inversely with z.• z varies jointly with x2 and y.• y varies inversely with x and z.
