Problems Involving
Inverse Variation
Example:
• If W varies inversely as F, and W = 8, when F = 18, find the
constant of variation, and what is the value of W when
F = -36?
Example:
• If V varies inversely as P and V = 27 when P = 1, find the
constant of variation, and what is the value of V when
P = 2.5?
Example:
• The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely
as the number of people working together. If it takes 8
hours for 5 people to paint a house, how long will it take
for 12 people to paint the house?
Example:
• A manufacturing company found that the demand for its
product varies inversely as the price of the product. When
the price is Php 150, the demand is 500 units. Approximate
the demand for a price of Php 200.
Problems Involving
Joint and Combined
Variations
• It takes place when one quantity varies
directly as the product of two or more
other quantities.
• If z varies jointly as x and y, then 𝑧 = 𝑘𝑥𝑦,
where k is the constant of variation
Example:
• The volume V of a right circular cylinder varies jointly as its height h
and the square of the radius r of its circular base. If the volume of
such cylinder is 72𝝅 𝒄𝒎𝟑 , who height is 8 cm and whose radius is 3
cm, what is the volume of the cylinder if the radius is 5 cm and the
height is 12 cm?
Example:
• The kinetic energy P (the energy in motion) varies jointly with the
mass m (in kilograms) of that object and the square of the velocity
v (in meters per second) . The constant variation is ½. Write the
equation for kinetic energy. If a large car is travelling 20 m/s and
weighs 1760 kg, what is the kinetic energy?
• If z varies jointly as x and y and inversely as
𝑘𝑥𝑦
t, then 𝑧 = were k is the constant of
𝑡
variation.
Example:
• The current I varies directly as the electromotive force E and
inversely as the resistance R. If a current of 30 amperes flows
through a system with resistance of 16 ohms and electromotive
force of 120 volts, find the current that a 200-volt electromotive
force will send through the system. (Note: same system)
Example:
• The time T required to process a shipment of goods at Wal-Mart
varies directly with the number of goods G and inversely with the
number of workers W assigned. If 15,000 items can be processed
by 8 workers in 10 hours, then how long would it take 12 workers to
process 20,000 items?
Example:
• The maximum load M of a horizontal beam that is supported at
both ends varies jointly as the width wand the square of the height
h and inversely as the length l between the supports. A beam 6 m
long, 0.1 m wide, and 0.06 m high supports a load of 360 kg. What
is the maximum load supported by a beam 16 m long, 0.2 m wide,
and 0.08 m high?
Reflection:
Work together harmoniously to
produce better and more
output.
