Chapter 2:Variations

Variations and Graphs

QuestionAnswer
What are some examples of a constant of variation? r=5c, r=10. They are all a form of y=kx^n where k is a nonzero constant and n is a positive number.
Ex: The weight w of an adult animal of a given species is known to vary directly with the cube of its height h. a. Write an equation relating w and h. b. Identify the dependent and independent variables. Solution: An equation for the direct varation is w=kh^3 b. Because w is given in terms of h, The dependent variable is w and the independent variable is h.
What is an inverse-variation function? Its a function with a formula of the form y=k/x^n, with k not equaling 0 and n being greater than 0.
Ex: The number n of oranges you can pack in a box is approximentely inversely proportional to the cube of the average diameter d of oranges. Write an equation to express this relation. Solution: The cube of the diameter of d^3. So, n is = k/d^3
The Fundamental Theorem of Variation a. If y varies directly as x^n( That is, y=kx^n), and x is multiplied by c, then y is multiplied by c^n. b. If y varies inversely as x^n( That is, y=k/x^n), and x is multiplied by a nonzero constant c, then y is divided by c^n.
Formula for Slope of a Line =changes in vertical distance/ change in horizontal distance = change in dependent variable/ change in independent variable =rise/run
Domain and range k>0 The domain of the function with equation y=kx^2 is the set of all real numbers. When K > 0, the range is the set of nonnegative real numbers, and the parabola opens up.
Domain and range k<0 The range is thet set of nonpositive real numbers and the parabola opens down. That is, the vertex of the parabola is its maximum point.

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.
