9.5 Variation Functions
Name: _______________________
Essential Question: How do we recognize and solve the different types of variation problems?
Vocabulary:
Direct Variation: ___________________________________________________________________________
Constant of Variation: _______________________________________________________________________
Joint Variation: _____________________________________________________________________________
Inverse Variation: ___________________________________________________________________________
Combined Variation: ________________________________________________________________________
How to Write and Solve Variation Problems:
Step 1: Use the wording of the problem to write the general form of the equation.
Step 2: Plug in all known quantities so that you can find the value of k. Solve for k.
Step 3: Rewrite your equation from step one with your new k value.
Step 4: Plug in other values so that you can find the one that is missing. Solve for the missing variable.
Examples:
1. If y varies directly as x and y = -15 when x = 5, find y when x = 3.
2. Suppose y varies jointly as x and z. Find y when x = 10 and z = 5, if y = 12 when z = 8 and x = 3.
3. If r varies inversely as t and r = -6 when t = 2, find r when t = -7.
4. The volume of a gas v varies inversely as the pressure p and directly as the temperature t.
a. Write the equation to represent the volume of a gas in terms of pressure and temperature.
b. Is the equation a direct, joint, combined or inverse variation?
c. A certain gas has a volume of 8 liters, a temperature of 275 Kelvin, and a pressure of 1.25
atmospheres. If the gas is compressed to a volume of 6 liters and is heated to 300 Kelvin, what
will the new pressure be?
5. Suppose f varies directly as g and f varies inversely as h. Find g when f = 6 and h = -5, if g = 18
when h = 3 and f = 5.
Summarizer: How are direct variations and linear equations related? How are joint and combined variations
the same and different?
