Variation
-A change in the form, position,
condition or amount of something.
- It is the act or process of being
varied.
- A change in one variable may result
to a significant change in the other

Direct Variation
-It is a relationship between two variables in which
one is a constant multiple of the other.
- In particular, when a variable changes, the other
also changes in proportion to the first. So, for every
variable x & y, it states that:
“As x increases, y also increases”
“As x decreases, y also decreases”
It is Mathematical relationship between two
variables that can be expressed by an equation in
which one variable is equal to a constant times the
other.
y = kx
where: y – dependent variable
x – independent variable
k – constant of variation

Steps to Solve Direct Variation Problems


1.Write the equation y = kx.
2.Solve for k using known values of x and y.
3.Substitute k into the equation.
4.Use the equation to find missing values.

Example :
If x varies directly as y and x = 35 when y = 7,
what is the value of y when x = 25.
y = kx 0.2 = k
7 = k35
7/35 = k35/35 Y = kx
y = 0.2(25) yipee
y=5😊
Inverse Variation
-Inverse variation (or indirect proportion)
describes a relationship where the product of
two variables remains constant as their values
change. When one variable increases, the

used to represent this relationship is ∝ (read as


other decreases proportionally. The symbol

"is inversely proportional to").

The formula for inverse variation can be expressed


in two ways:
k
1.y = x , where y is inversely proportional to x
and k is the constant of variation
2.xy = k, where the product of x and y is
constant and equals k

Steps to Solve Inverse Variation:


k
1.Write the Formula: Start with xy = k or y = x ,
where k is the constant of variation
2.Find k: Use given values of x and y to
calculate k by substituting into xy = k
3.Write the Equation: Substitute k back into y
k
= x,
4.Solve for Unknowns: Use the equation to find
missing values of x or y.
Example:
y varies inversely as x, and y = 4 when x = 6. Find
y when x=8 .
xy = k y = kx
24
6(4) = 24 y= 8
K = 24 y= 3

Joint Variation
 In joint variation, if ( a ) varies jointly with ( b )
and ( c ), it can be mathematically represented
as ( a = kbc ), where ( k ) is the constant of
variation.
a: The dependent variable, which changes
based on the values of b and c.
b and c: The independent variables, which
determine the value of a.
k: The constant of variation, which remains
the same for a specific relationship.

 Joint variation often involves three or more


variables simultaneously, unlike direct or
inverse variations.
Steps to solve Joint Variation :
1. Identify the equation: Start with a=kbc,
where a is the dependent variable, b and c are
independent variables, and k is the constant.
2. Find the constant k: Use given values for a, b,
and c to solve for k by substituting into a=kbc.
3. Rewrite the equation: Replace k in the
formula a=kbc
4. Solve for the unknown: Use the rewritten
equation to calculate the unknown variable.
Example:
The volume V of a prism varies jointly as its length
l, width w, and height h. If V = 60 when l = 3, w =
4, and h = 5, find V when l = 6, w = 2, and h = 5.
V = klwh
60 = k(3)(4)(5)
60 = k(60)
K=1

V =klwh
V = (1)(6)(2)(5)
V = 60 yippee
Combined Variation
Combined variation is a situation where a variable
depends on two or more variables simultaneously,
with each having its own type of variation (direct or
inverse). It can involve direct variation with one
variable, inverse variation with another, or both.
The general formula is: 𝑦=𝑘(𝑥/𝑧)

where z varies directly with x and inversely with y,


and k is the constant of variation.

Solution Steps
1.Write the equation based on the
relationship.
2.Find the constant k using given values.
3.Substitute the constant back into the
equation.
4.Solve for the unknown.

Example
If z varies directly as x and inversely as y, and z=6
when x=3 and y=2, find z when x=4 and y=5

1.Write the equation: z=𝑘(𝑥/y)


2.Find k: 6 = k(3/2)
K = 12/3
K=4
3.Substitute k=4 into the equation:
z=𝑘(𝑥/y)
z=4(4/5)
z = 16/5
z = 3.2 ez pz
