VARIATION Table & Graph

The document explains the concepts of direct and inverse variation, illustrating how they can be represented through tables, equations, and graphs. Direct variation occurs when the ratio of two quantities is constant, while inverse variation occurs when an increase in one quantity leads to a decrease in another. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to determine whether a set of values represents direct or inverse variation by calculating the constant of variation, k.

VARIATIONS

Table, Equation & graph


Translates into variation
statement a relationship between
two quantities given by:

(a) a table of values;


(b) a mathematical equation; and
(c) a graph and vice versa.
There is a direct variation whenever a situation
produces pairs of numbers in which their ratio is
constant.
The statements:
“y varies directly as x”
“y is drectly proportional to x” and
“y is proportional to x”
may be translated mathematically as y = kx,
where k is the constant of variation.
DIRECT VARIATION
For two quantities, x and y, an
increase in x causes an increase in
y as well.
Similarly, a decrease in x causes a
decrease in y.
The table below shows that the distance d
varies directly as the time t then d = kt.

Time (hr) 1 2 3 4 5
Distance (km) 10 20 30 40 50
The graph below describes a direct variation of the
form y = kx.

is k = 10.

This situation illustrates direct variation.


INVERSE VARIATION
For two quantities x and y, an
increase in x causes a decrease
in y or vice versa.

car, the time it takes her to reach the work depends on her
average speed.

Test Difference Between
Direct and Inverse
Variations:
Let us determine if the table of values
below are direct or inverse variation based
on how the values of the constant k be
computed. Use
k = for direct variations

k = xy for inverse variations.


Example 1:

Solution: Test for direct variation: k=


k= k= k=

k= k=
It is a direct variation since the value of k = y/x remains
constantly equal.
Example 1:

Solution: Test for inverse variation: k = xy


k= k=
k=
It is not an inverse variation since the value of k = xy
for three set of values is no longer equal.
Example 2:

k = 0.5
Solution: Test for direct variation: k=
k= k=

It is not a direct variation since the value of k = y/x for


three set of values is no longer equal.
Example 2:

Solution: Test for inverse variation: k = xy


k= k=
k=
k= k=
It is an inverse variation since the value of k = xy
remains constantly equal..
Determine if the table of values below are direct or
inverse variation based on how the values of the
constant k be computed. Show your solution.
