The document discusses joint and combined variations, explaining that joint variation occurs when one quantity varies directly as the product of two or more other quantities, while combined variation involves one quantity varying directly or jointly as well as inversely with other quantities. It provides examples of how to write statements, symbols, and equations for different types of variations and examples of solving problems involving finding constants of variation and determining variable values.

JOINT AND
COMBINED VARIATIONS LESSON 2 OBJECTIVES: The learner will be able to: 1.illustrates situations that involve joint and combined variations; 2.translate into joint and combined variation statement a relationship between two quantities given mathematical equations; and 3.solve problems involving joint and combined variations. QUESTIONS: What happened to the area when the length is doubled, and the width is the same? What happened to the area when the length is tripled, and the width is the same? When the width is doubled, what happened to the area? The area of a rectangle is “proportional to the product of its length and width”. JOINT VARIATION Joint Variation Joint variation takes place when one quantity varies directly as the product of two or more other quantities. EXAMPLE 1: STATEMENT SYMBOL EQUATION z varies jointly as x and y The area of a triangle varies jointly as the base and the height. L varies jointly as m and the square of n The pressure of a gas varies jointly as its density and its absolute temperature. EXAMPLE 2: Find the constant of variation and the equation of variation: a. If y varies jointly as x and z, and y = 6 when x = 10 and z = 8. b. Find an equation of variation in which y varies jointly as x and z and y = 45 when x = 18 and z = 10. EXAMPLE 3: Solve the following: a. If y varies jointly as x and z, and y = 6 when x = 10 and z = 8, find y when x = 4 and z = 40. b. Find an equation of variation in which y varies jointly as x and z and y = 45 when x = 18 and z = 10. Find y when x = 20 and z = 30. EXAMPLE 4: Solve the given problem below. The lateral area of a cylinder varies jointly with the height and radius of the cylinder. If a cylinder, with radius 3 cm and height 5 cm, has a lateral area of 30, what is the lateral area of a cylinder when its radius is 2 cm and its height is 8 cm? COMBINED VARIATIONS Combined Variation •A variation is referred to as combined variation if one quantity varies directly or jointly as the other quantities. REMEMBER: • A joint variation maybe considered as a special type of combined variation. By definition, a joint variation is described by the equation , where is the constant of variation. On the other hand, a combined variation involves more than one kind of variation. REMEMBER: COMBINED VARIATION A combined variation is defined by the equation or , where k is the constant of variation. EXAMPLE 1: STATEMENT SYMBOL EQUATION G varies directly as h and inversely as j B varies jointly as C and D and inversely as E. m varies jointly as the square of n and cube of p and inversely as q. y varies directly as the cube root of x and inversely as the square of z. EXAMPLE 2: Find the constant of variation and equation of variation of the following. a.The variable y varies directly as x and inversely as z. If y = 15 when x = 5 and z = 3, find the constant of variation and equation of variation. b. The variable L varies jointly as m and n, and inversely as p. If L = 20 when m = 5 and n = 2 and p = 4, find the constant of variation and equation of variation. c. Find the constant of variation and an equation of combined variation where r varies directly as the square of s and inversely as t. If the set of values is r = 10, s = 5, and t = 75. EXAMPLE 3: Solve the following problems. a.The variable varies directly as the product of and , and inversely as the square of . If when , , and , find the value of when , , and .
b. If varies directly as and inversely as, and when

a.The current varies directly as the
electromotive force and inversely as the resistance . If a current of 30 amperes flows through a system with 16 ohms resistance and electromotive force of 120 volts, find the current that a 200-volt electromotive force will send through the system. b. The time it takes to build a highway varies directly as the length of the highway and inversely as the number of workers. If it takes 4 weeks for 100 workers to build a 5 km highway, how long will it take 100 workers to build a 40 km highway? c. The electrical resistance of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. A wire with a length of 200 inches and a diameter of one-quarter (1/4 or 0.25) of an inch has a resistance of 20 ohms. Find the electrical resistance in a 500 inches wire with the same diameter.
