• Define inverse variation

    

• represent indirect variation symbolically;

o y varies inversely as 𝑥: 𝑦 ∝ 1/𝑥, 𝑦 = 𝑘/𝑥

LESSON
• find the value of k when two quantities vary indirectly

• find the value of a quantity when, when two quantities vary

OBJECTIVES indirectly.

• Solve worded problems involving direct and

What will you be able to do?

ü Calculate the value of the constant (k) for indirect variation

ü Represent an inverse variation algebraically.
ü Describe the primary characteristics of an inverse variation.
ü Compare and contrast an inverse variation with a direct variation.
ü Given a real-world problem, students will identify if it is
describing inverse or direct variation

 Variation | Mrs. Patten
Example:
There are many situations in our daily lives that
involve inverse variation (indirect variation).

For example, the number of days required to build a

Concept bridge varies inversely to the number of workers. As

the number of workers increases, the number of days
required to build would decrease.
