1. 9.1 Inverse & Joint Variation p.534

2. Just a reminder from chapter 2 Direct Variation Use y=kx. Means “y v vv varies directly with x.” k is called the c cc constant of variation.

3. New stuff! Inverse Variation varies inversely “y varies inversely with x.” constant of variation k is the constant of variation.

4. Ex: tell whether x & y show direct variation, inverse variation, or neither. a.xy=4.8 b.y=x+4 c. Hint: Solve the equation for y and take notice of the relationship. Inverse Variation Neither Direct Variation

5. 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

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/x 2. Ex: if z varies directly with y and inversely with x, then z=ky/x.

7. Examples: Write an equation. y varies directly with x and inversely with z 2. y varies inversely with x 3. y varies directly with x 2 and inversely with z. z varies jointly with x 2 and y. y varies inversely with x and z.
