8-1/2-2 DIRECT AND INVERSE VARIATION
2
Direct Variation Equation: y = kx Solve for constant “k” k = y/x As x increases, y increases As x decreases, y decreases Inverse Variation Equation: y = k/x Solve for constant “k” k = xy As x increases, y decreases As x decreases, y increases

EX 2) DETERMINE WHETHER Y VARIES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WITH X. IF SO, WRITE THE EQUATION. xy 215 47.5 103 152 Inverse? Check constant k = xy =30 Yes! y = 30/x xy 0.28 0.520 1.040 1.560 Direct? Check constant k = y/x =40 Yes! y = 40x xy 210 48 3 151.5 Inverse? Check constant k = xy =20 =32 =30 =22.5 No! Neither y = k/x y = kx

EX 5 CONTINUED - T.O.O. c) Suppose y varies directly with x and y = 15 when x = 3. Write an equation and find what y is when x = 12. d) Suppose y varies inversely with x and x = 8 when y = -7. Write an equation and find what y is when x = 2. Answers c) y = 5x; If x = 12, then y = 60 d) y = -56/x; If x = 2, then y = -28 Find constant k = y/x Plug into equation y = kx Find constant k = xy Plug into equation y = k/x

EX7) T.O.O 1)Suppose z varies inversely with the (product of x and y) and z = 0.5 when x = 2 and y = 4. Write an equation and find what z is when x = 4 and y = 9. 2)Write a direct variation for (-2,3) and use it to find the missing coordinate of (x,6). 3)Write an inverse variation for (-2,3) and use it to find the missing coordinate of (x,6). Answers 1)z = 4/(xy), z = 1/9 2)y = (-3/2)x, x = -4 3)y = -6/x, x = -1
