Worksheet on Direct, Inverse, Joint, and Combined Variations

Part 1: Direct Variation


Determine if the following relationships represent direct variation:
a) y = 2x
b) y = 3x + 2
c) y = x^2

If y varies directly as x, and y = 6 when x = 3, find y when x = 8.


If y varies directly as x, and y = 20 when x = 10, find x when y = 40.

Part 2: Inverse Variation


Determine if the following relationships represent inverse variation:
a) y = 2/x
b) y = x^2 + 1
c) y = 5

If y varies inversely as x, and y = 4 when x = 2, find y when x = 5.


If y varies inversely as x, and y = 10 when x = 5, find x when y = 2.

Part 3: Joint Variation


Determine if the following relationships represent joint variation:
a) y = kxz
b) y = k/x + z
c) y = x + z

If y varies jointly as x and z, and y = 12 when x = 2 and z = 3, find y when x = 4 and z = 5.


If y varies jointly as x and z, and y = 15 when x = 5 and z = 3, find z when y = 20 and x = 4.

Part 4: Combined Variation


Determine if the following relationships represent combined variation:
a) y = kxz^2
b) y = kx^2z^3
c) y = kx/z

If y varies as the product of x, z, and the square of w, and y = 24 when x = 2, z = 3, and w = 1,
