Joint and Combined

Joint Variation
- a relationship of more than
two variables
“y varies jointly as x and z”
written in the form y = kxz,
where k is the constant of
variation.
Combined Variation
a relationship that
contains both direct
and inverse variation
“y varies directly as x
and inversely as z.”
Translate to equation:
1.The volume of a cylinder V varies
jointly as its height h and the
square of the radius r.
2.The pressure P of a gas varies
directly as its temperature t and
inversely as its volume V.
3.The heat H produced by an electric
lamp varies jointly as the resistance
R and the square of the current I.
4.The acceleration A of a moving
object varies directly as the distance
d it travels and inversely as the
square of the time t it travels.
5. The force F applied to an object varies
jointly as the mass m and the
acceleration a.
6.The volume V of a pyramid varies
jointly as the area of the base B and

Example:
The volume V of a gas varies
inversely as the pressure P and
directly as the temperature T. A
certain gas has a volume of 10
liters (L), a temperature of 300
kelvins (K), and a pressure of 1.5
atmospheres (atm). If the gas is
heated to 400K, and has a
pressure of 1 atm, what is its
volume?
Example:

object exerting a force of 10
Newtons.
Example:

centimeters and height 14 centimeters.
