Question
Answer
A DIRECT-VARIATION FUNCTION is a function with a formula of the form y=kx^n with k does not equal 0 and n>0   EX: r=5c  
🗑
A car needs 25 ft to stop after braking at 20 mph. braking distance d is directly porportional to the square of the speed s. What distance is needed to stop this car braking at 60 mph?   1) Find equation; d=ks^2 2) Determine constant; 25=k*(20)^2; k= 1/16 3) Substiute k; d= 1/16*s^2 4) Evaluate; d= 1/16*60^2; d=225  
🗑
An INVERSE-VARIATION FUNCTION is af unction with a formula of the form y=k/x^n with k does not equal 0 and n>0   EX: t=36/s  
🗑
THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF VARIATION   a) If y varies directly as x^n (y=kx^n) and x is muliplied by c, then y is multiplied by c^n. b) If y varies inversely as x^n (y=k/x^n)and x is multiplied by a nonzero constant c, then y is divided by c^n.  
🗑
The SLOPE of the line thorugh two pints (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) equals (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)   EX: (10,2) (15,3); (3-2)/(15-10)= 1/5  
🗑
CONVERSE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF VARIATION   a. If multplying every x-value of a function by c results in multiplying the corresponding y-value by c^n then y=kx^n b. If multiplying every x-value of a function by c resluts in dividing the corresponding y-value by c^n then y=k/x^n  
🗑
COMBINED VARIATION is when direct and inverse variations occur together   EX: y=kx/z  
🗑
JOINT VARIATION is when one qantity varies directly as the product of two or more independent variable but not inversely as any variable   EX: y=kxz  
🗑
When y=kx what will the graph look like?   a line that cross origin; d and r = all real numbers; when k>0 the line goes up from right to left; when k,o the line goes down right to left  
🗑
When y=kx^2 what will the grpah look lke?   parabola; hits origin; d always set of all real numbers; when k>0 parabola opens up and r= non negative real numbers; when k<0 parabol opens down and r=negative real numbers  
🗑
When y= k/x what will the graph look like?   hyperbola; doesnt pass trhough origin;d and r= set of all nonzero real numbers; when k>0 in 1st and 3rd quadrant; when k<0 in 2nd and 4th quadrant  
🗑
When y- k/x^2 what will the graph look like?   inverse-square curve; d= set of all nonzero real numbers; when k>0 in 1st and 2nd quadrants and r= y>0; when k<0 in 3rd and 4th quadrants and r= y<0  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
