    The document discusses direct and inverse variation between quantities. It provides examples of quantities that have a direct variation relationship, where as one quantity increases, the other also increases proportionally. Examples are also given of quantities with an inverse variation relationship, where as one quantity increases, the other decreases proportionally. Steps for solving direct and inverse variation word problems are outlined.

    VARIATION

    What are some


    related quantities
    in real – life
    situations?
    Which of the following quantities are related?
    Do you agree that the more
    time you spend on social
    media, the more online
    friends you make? Are
    “facebook friends” the same
    as real friends?
    Let us consider the
    relationship between the
    length of time a car travels at
    a constant speed and the
    distance it covers.
    A car travels at a constant speed of 60
    kilometers per hour. How far can it travel in
    a. Half an hour?
    b.2 hours?
    c. 3 hours?
    d.4 hours?
    Let us organize the answers to the questions
    in this table.

    Time 1 2 3 4
    (hr)
    Distance 30 60 120 180 240
    (km)
    Notice that as the time increases, the
    distance increases. As the time
    decreases, the distance decreases. In
    fact, as time or number of hours is
    doubled, the distance traveled is
    doubled. As time is halved, the
    distance is halved.
    The ratio of distance over time is 60.

    60 120 180
    = = =60
    1 2 3
    The relationship between time and distance
    in this example is expressed by the equation .
    The equation is called a direct variation. We
    say that the distance varies directly as time.
    Since the distance traveled depends on the
    length of time the car is traveling at constant
    speed, the distance traveled is called the
    dependent variable. The length of time the
    car travels is called the independent variable.
    DIRECT VARIATION
    Let and denote two quantities. varies
    directly with , or is directly proportional to if
    there is a nonzero number such that:

    The number is called the constant of


    proportionality or the constant of variation.
    Student assistants at a certain state university
    are paid Php 30 per hour.

    a. How much will a student assistant receive for


    2 hours? 3 hours? 4 hours?
    b. Find the equation of variation.
    c. Graph
    The weight of an object on the moon
    varies directly as its weight on earth.
    An astronaut who weighs 80 kg on
    earth weighs kg on the moon. How
    much would a 60 kg person weigh on
    the moon?
    The pressure of water on an object varies
    directly with its distance from the
    surface. A submarine experiences a
    pressure of 26 lbs per square inch at 60 ft
    below the surface. How much pressure
    will the submarine experience at 208 feet
    below the surface?
    Steps in Solving a Direct Variation Problem

    1. Write the equation of variation:


    2. Substitute known values and solve for
    3. Replace in the equation in STEP 1 by the
    value obtained in STEP .
    4. Solve for the desired value.
    Find the constant of variation
    and the equation of variation
    in which varies directly as ,
    and when
    Find the constant of variation
    and the equation of variation
    in which varies directly as ,
    and and .
    If varies directly as , and
    when , find the value of
    y when .
    If varies directly as
    and when , find the
    value of when .
    The distance a spring will stretch varies
    directly with the force applied to it.
    Suppose a spring stretches by 40 cm
    when a 65 kg force is applied to it.

    a. Find the equation of variation.


    b.Graph
    The number of kilograms of water
    in a human body varies directly as
    the total weight. A person
    weighing 63 kg contains 42 kg of
    water. How many kilograms of
    water are in 90 kg person?
    You’ve seen that many
    quantities are related to
    each other. However, not
    all of them are directly
    related.
    Speed and Time
    Jeffrey and Joy are siblings who live in the same house
    and go to school by the same route.
    a. Joy walks to school while Jeffrey runs. Who will
    reach the school first? Why?
    b. If Joy and Jeffrey ran to school at the same time,
    would they reach the school at the same time?
    Justify your answer.
    c. How does the speed at which one travels relate to
    the time it takes to travel a certain distance?
    In the situation presented, as the
    speed one travels increases, the
    time it takes to reach one’s
    destination decreases. Conversely,
    as the speed decreases, the time
    increases. In this case, we say that
    the speed and time are inversely
    related.
    Decide whether the two quantities in the situation are
    directly or inversely related. Explain.
    a. The side length of a square is related to its perimeter.
    b. The number of people sharing a pizza is related to the size of the
    slice each person gets.
    c. The age of a used car is related to the price the owner can get for it.
    d. The time a painter paints a wall is related to the area of the wall
    painted.
    e. The time it takes to read a book is related to the number of pages it
    has.
    f. The time a candle is used is related to the remaining length of the
    candle.
    INVERSE VARIATION
    Let and denote two quantities. , or is to , if there is a
    nonzero constant such that
    .

    The number is called the constant of variation.


    A car is traveling a distance of 120
    kilometers.
    a. How long will it take the car to reach its
    destination if it travels at a speed of
    20kph? 40 kph? 60 kph? 80 kph?

    b. Graph.
    A speed boat needs to travel a
    distance of 28 kilometers. At what
    rate should it travel if it wants to
    reach its destination in 28
    minutes? In 24 min?
    in 30 min?

    hut in 8 days. How long
    would it take a crew of 4
    to build the same hut?
    The number of days a bag of
    bread lasts varies inversely as the
    number of people who consume
    it. If a bag of bread lasts three
    days for six people, how long will
    it last for two people?
    The number of days a barrel of
    water lasts varies inversely as
    the number of people who
    consume it. If a barrel of water
    lasts 2 days for 5 people, how
    long will it last for 3 people?
    The time required to do a certain
    job varies inversely as the
    number of people working on
    the job. It takes two hours for 6
    people to scrub the corridors of a
    building. How long would it take
    4 people to do the same job?
