| 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.

| 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.

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.
