WEEKS
Variation
1-2 Lesson
I
There are varied things around you that you should know how things are
related to each other. Like how is time related to the speed of a vehicle or even as
simple as the relationship of the length of your arm span to your height.
Quantities may vary directly, that is as one quantity increases the other
quantity must also increase or they may vary inversely, that is if one quantity
increases the other quantity decreases.
When two quantities increase at the same time or decrease at the same
time, it shows direct variation. However, if one quantity increases and the other
decreases, it shows inverse variation.
You encounter such situations in your everyday life. For instance, walking
slowly going to school takes longer time, but walking fast takes shorter time
reaching the school. Your speed in walking varies inversely with the time. The
faster you walk the shorter the time it takes you to reach your destination.
Another situation is when your mother asked you to buy rice, which cost
₱55.00 a kilo. If one kilo costs ₱55.00, how much will 10 kilos of rice cost? In this
situation the more kilos of rice you buy, the more money you will pay. Hence, this
is an example of direct variation.
Situations involving 3 or more quantities that varies from one another may
show joint variation or combined variation.

D
Direct Variation
In your previous lesson you were able to represent relationship between
two quantities using graphs, table of values and equations.
Examples:
1. Given: Graph:
Table of values:
x 1 2 3 4 5
y 2 4 6 8 10
Equation: y = 2x
You can see from the table of values that as the
value of x increases the value of y also increases. The graph is a line that rises to
the right. This is an illustration of a direct variation. This means that y varies
directly as x. In symbols:
y y
 k or y = kx or x  , where k is the constant of variation or
x k
constant of proportionality. In this case the constant of variation is 2.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Math G9 6

2. You will be celebrating your 14th birthday and you want to have 14 balloons in
your birthday party. The table below shows the number of balloons (x) and the
corresponding cost (y).
As you can see, as the values of x increase, the
x 2 4 6 8 ... 14
values of y also increase. Hence, the cost of balloons
y 10 20 30 40 ... 70 varies directly to the number of balloons.
y1 y2 10 20
Since y varies directly as x, then the constant of variation k: x  x  2  4  5
1 2

The constant of variation (k) is 5. Thus, the equation of the direct variation is
y = 5x.
3. y varies directly as x. If y = 12 when x = 4,
A. Find the constant of variation C. What is x when y is 36?
B. What is the equation?
Solution:
y 12
A. k   3 C. using the equation of variation: y = 3x
x 4 36
B . y = 3x 36 = 3x x=  12
3
When the value of y increases from 12 to 36, the value of x increases also from
4 to 12.
Direct Square Variation
The relationship between the area (A) and the square of the radius (r 2) of a
circle is an example of a direct square variation.
A = πr2, the constant of variation is π or 3.1416.
Direct square variation states that if y varies directly as the square of x, there is
y y y
a nonzero constant k such that  k or y = kx2 or x2  where, x .
x2 k k
The graph of direct square variation is quadratic in nature. It follows a quadratic
curve.

Examples:
1. y varies directly as the square of x. If y = 27 when x = 3, find x when y = 81.
Solution: Find the constant of variation: y 27 27
k   2  3
x2 3 9
Equation of variation: y = 3x2
Find x when y = 81.
Using the equation y = 3x2 , find x

2. If p varies directly as the square of q and p = 256 when q = 8, find:
A. k B. equation C. p when q = 2 3

Solution: A. k  q 2  82  4 B. p = 4q2 C. p = 4q2 p = 4( 2 3)2 = 4(12)= 48

7 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Math G9

Inverse Variation
In real life, there are different situations that shows inverse relation.
Inverse variation states that y varies inversely as x or y is inversely proportional
k k
to x if there is nonzero constant k, such that y  , k = xy or x . . . The
x y
decrease of one quantity results to the increase of the other quantity.
Examples:
1. The table below shows the number of persons (x) working together and the
number of hours (y) the job is completed. Find the constant of variation and
equation. Graph the given table of values.

2. If y varies inversely as x and y = 20 when x = 8, find

A. constant of variation B. variation equation C. y when x = 16
Solution: A. k = xy k = 8(20) = 160
160
B. xy = 160 or y =
160 160 x
C. y =   10
x 16
As the value of x increases from 8 to 16, the value of y decreases from 20 to 10.
3. The rate (r ) of the car varies inversely with the time (t). The car travels at a
rate of 60 kph for 1.5 hours. Find the rate of the car when it took 1 hour to
travel the same distance (d).
Solution:
In this case, the faster the car travels, the shorter time it will take to cover the
same distance. Hence, the constant of variation here is the distance.

Therefore, d = rt = 60(1.5) = 90 km.

To solve for the rate : r  d  90  90 kph.
t 1
The faster the car travels, the shorter the time it takes to travel the same
distance.

Joint and Combined Variation

Joint and combined variation involves 3 or more quantities that may vary
directly and or inversely to each other.
Joint Variation
If the ratio of one quantity to the product of the other two quantities is con-
stant, the they vary jointly. That is, if y varies jointly as x and z, then y = kxz ,
y y y
or  k. Or x  or z 
xz kz kx
Examples:
1. The surface area of a cylinder varies jointly as the radius and height . A = krh,
where A is the surface area , r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
The constant of variation is k = 2π. Hence, A = 2πrh. Any of the variable r or h
increases the area also increases.
2. Translate the following into variation equation:
(a) p varies jointly as q and r.
Equation: p = kqr
(b) area of parallelogram varies jointly as its base and altitude.
Equation: A = bh, k = 1
3. If m varies jointly as p and q and m = 50 when p = 5 and q = 2, find m when
p = 10 and q = 6.
Solution: Determine the constant of variation: y 50
 k k 5
xz 5(2)
m = kpq = 5(10)(6) = 300. As p and q increase m also
increases.

Combined Variation
This is a variation where one quantity varies directly to other quantity and
inversely to the other quantity. vx vx
kw k  kw
x w
The equation v  x , w , v , or k means that
v varies directly as w and inversely as z.
Examples:
1. v varies inversely as x and directly as w. If v = 12 when x = 4 and w = 8, find w

Simplifying Radical Expressions 5-6
Lesson
I
A radical is in its simplest form if:
1. The radicand does not contain a perfect square, cube or nth power.
Examples: 2 is in its simplest form since 2 is not a perfect square,
meaning the square root of 2 is not exact.
3
5 is in its simplest form since 5 is not a perfect cube,
meaning, the cube root of is not exact.
2. There is no fraction in the radicand or no radical in the denominator.
Example:  3  3 3 , the fractions is simplified such that
  
 4  4 2
  there is no radicand in the denominator.
3. The index of the radical is the lowest possible index.
6
Example: 8 is not yet in simplest form since the index 6 can be
expressed as the product of 3 and 2.
To simplify, express it as 3
8  2 since the cube root of 8 is 2

and square root of 2 is not exact or 3
8  (8) 2 3  (8) 6  23 6  2 2  2 .

You have to simplify radical expressions with:

1. a perfect nth factor;
2. a fraction radicand or denominator; and
3. reducible index.
Recall that :
a. n
am is a radical expression which indicates the
m
nth root of am ;
a  n am

b. n is the index which gives the order of radicals; and

c. am is the radicand, the number within radical sign.

The properties of radicals which can be useful in simplifying radical expressions
are as follows:
1. n

Simplifying Radicals by Reducing the Radicand
Reducing radicand is finding a factor of a radicand whose indicated roots
can be found.
Examples:
1. Simplify 50.
Solution: 50 is not a perfect square, therefore you have to find a factor of
50 which is a perfect square.
50  25  .2 The factors of 50 are 25 and 2. 25 is a factor which
is a perfect square, meaning you can extract the
square root.
 25  2 The square root of the product is equal to the
square root of the factors.
5 2 The square root of 25 is 5 , square root of 2 is
already in simplified form.
Therefore, 50  5 2 is in simplest form.
2. Simplify 3

3. Simplify 5
32 x y z .
Solution: To get the root of variables with integral exponent, the exponent must
be divisible by the index.

5
32 x 7 y 5 z  5 32 x 5 y 5  x 2 z  5 32 x 5 y 5  5 x 2 z  2 xy 5 x 2 z

Take note that when you divide the exponent of x which is 7 by the index
5 there is a remainder of 2 and the exponent of z which is 1 cannot be divided
by 5. Hence, the variables that will remain under the radical sign are x 2 and z.
4. Simplify 54 48a 4 b 5 c 6 .
Solution: Factor the radicand such that one factor is the 4th power of a certain
number and the variable such that, the exponent is divisible by the
index 4.
54 48a 4b10 c 5  54 16a 4b 8 c 4  3b 2 c  54 16a 4b 8 c 4  4 3b 2 c  5(2ab 2 c)4 3b 2 c  10ab 2 c 4 3b 2 c

The factors of 48 are 16 and 3 where 16 is a perfect 4th power of a num-

ber. The factors of b10 are b8 where the exponent is divisible by 4 and b2 . The fac-
tors of c5 are c4 and c. 5 is the coefficient of the radical expression. Multiply the
coefficient 5 with the 4th root of 16a4 b8 c4 .

Simplifying Radicals by Rationalizing Denominators
In a radical expression, if there is radical number in the denominator, the
expression is not in simplest form. To eliminate the radical number in the de-
nominator you should apply the rationalization process.
To rationalize denominator, you have to multiply the numerator and denomi-
nator by a number such that the resulting radicand in the denominator is a per-
fect nth power.

Operations of Radicals 7
Lesson
I
In this lesson, you have to perform operations of radicals such as:
A. adding and subtracting similar and dissimilar radicals; and
B. multiply and/or divide radicals.

Radical terms are similar if they have the same radicand and index.
Examples: 5 ,3 5 , 5
These three radical numbers are similar since the radicand are
the same which is 5 and the index is 2 or all square root.
Radicals are unlike or dissimilar if the radicand are not the same and/or
the index are also different.
Examples: 5 , 3 5 The radicals have the same radicands but the indices
are different.

5 , 6 The indices are the same but the radicands are different.
D
Addition and Subtraction of Radicals
In adding or subtracting radicals, you can only add or subtract similar radi-
cals. To add or subtract similar radicals, add or subtract only the coefficients of
the radical number and copy the common radicals.
Examples:
1. 4 2 2  2 2  ( 4  1  2) 2  3 2 . Add and/or subtract the numerical
coefficients. If there is no number before the radical number it is
understood that the coefficient is 1.
2. 5 4  2 4  (5  2) 4  3 4  3( 2)  6. Subtract the numerical coefficients
Since the radicand is a perfect square, get the square root and
multiply the root by the coefficient.
3. 3 3  5 3  2 5  (3  5) 3  2 5  8 3  2 5 . Add only the
coefficients of terms that are similar.
4. 2 50  8  3 2 . In this case we can simplify first the radicand. Since
the lowest radicand is 2 find two factors of the other radicand
in such a way that one factor is 2 and the other is a perfect
square.

2 25  2  4  2  3 2 . The factors of 50 are 25 and 2, where25 is a perfect

square and the factors of 8 are 4 and 2, where 4 is also a perfect square.
25 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Math G9
 2(5) 2  2 2  3 2 Simplify by getting the square root of numbers
which are perfect square. Now that the radicals are similar, you
can combine them.

8 Radical Equations
I Lesson

A radical equation is an equation whose unknown quantity is in the

radicand. Below are examples of radical equations and not radical equations.
Radical Equations Not Radical Equations
1. 3 x  5  20 1. x 3  5  20
2. x  3  2 3
3 3
2. 2x  3  x  2

Some variable x are found Variable x is not part of radi-

in the radicand. cand.

In this lesson you have to solve radical equations. Hence, you have to
assume that if two numbers are equal, then the square, cube or nth power are also
n
 
equal. If x = y, then xn = yn or if n x  y then n x  y n and x = y n .

Solving Radical Equations
In solving radical equations, you must do the following steps:
1. Write the equation such that the radical containing the unknown is on
one side of the equation.
2. Combine similar terms.
3. Raise both sides of the equation to a power same as the index of the
radical. The equation should be free of radical to complete the solution.
4. Check if the value or values obtained will make the original equation
true.
Examples:
1. Solve for the value of x in x 7
Solution:
 x
2
 72 Since the index is 2, raise both sides of the equation to power of 2.
x = 49
Check:
x 7
49  7
7 = 7 Therefore, the square root of 49 is 7.

27  3
3 =3 Therefore, the cube root of 27 is 3.

3. Solve : 4 x2  x
Solution:
x2  x4 By APE, radical should be in one side of the
equation

 x2 2
 x  4

Square both sides of the equation since
the index of the radical is 2.

x  2  x 2  8 x  16 Square of a binomial.

x 2  9 x  18  0 Combine similar terms.

x  6( x  3)  0 Solve quadratic equation by factoring.
x - 6 = 0 or x - 3 = 0 Use zero product property.
x = 6 or x=3
Check::
For x = 6 For x = 3
4 x2  x 4 x2  x
4 62 6 4 32  3
4 4 6 4 13
426 4 1  3
6= 6 5 ≠ 3
Only 6 makes the equation true. Hence, 6 is the solution of the equation. 3 is
an extraneous root of the quadratic equation.

Common problem involving radical is the solution of right triangle applying
the Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem is about the relationships among the
sides of a right triangle. The theorem states the “sum of the squares of the
lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.
Thus, if a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, then
c 2  a 2  b 2 or c a2  b2
Examples:
1. A man walks 8 meters to the east ,then turn south and walk 6 meters. How
far is he from his starting point?
Solution: Visualize the problem and sketch the figure.
Let A be the starting point , B the ending point and C the turning
point.
The distance of the man from the starting
point is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

c a2  b2
c  6 2  82

c  36  64
c 100
c = 10
Therefore, the distance of the man from his starting point is 10 meters.

2. A ladder of 12 ft. tall leans against the wall of a building. The ladder touches a
point of the wall 6 ft. from the ground. How far is the foot of the ladder from
the building?
Solution: Sketch the figure.
Let l = 12 Length of the ladder which becomes the
hypotenuse of the right triangle.
h=6 Distance of the top of the ladder from the foot of
the building.
d=? Distance of the foot of the ladder from the foot of
the building.

l 2  h2  d 2
d 2  l 2  h2 by APE

d  l 2  h2
d  122  62
d  144  36
d  108
d 36  3  6 3
The distance of the foot of the ladder from the foot of the building
is 6 3 ft.
3. The area of a square lot is 162 m2. How long is the side of the square?
Solution:
A = s2 The area of a square.
