Variation and Problem Solvong
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Tips- (DIRECT VARIATION)When substituting into the proportionality equation, remember to always stay consistent. | |
Tips- Do not confuse direct variation with inverse variation. | |
Step 1- write down equation y=kx | |
Step 2- Substitute the values of each variable into the equation | |
Step 3- Divide both sides of the equation x to solve for k | |
Step 4- Rewrite the direct variation equation using the value of the proportionality constant. | |
Step 5- substitute the value given in the second part of the problem into the new equation | |
Step 6- perform the indicated computations . | |
Tips- (INVERSE VARIATION)- remember as one increases the other decreases, or vice versa. | |
Step 1- analyze your data | |
Step 2- Express known and unknown values in an inverse variation equation | |
Step 3- plug in the value for "k" and solve for "F" | |
Tips- (JOINT VARIATION) remember that constant variation is a number that relates to how the value of one mathematical variable changes as another mathematical variable increases. | |
step 1- read the question being given carefully, noting which variables vary directly with which other variables | |
step 2- calculate the constant of variation by dividing the dependent variable by the independent variable. | |
step 3- finish solving the constant of variation problem | |
