Variation and graphs

QuestionAnswer
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

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
