  1. Direct and InverseVariations

  2. When we talk about a direct variation, we are talking about a relationship where as x increases, y increasesor decreases at a CONSTANTRATE. Direct Variation

  3. Direct Variation Direct variation uses the following formula:

  4. example: if y varies directly as x and y = 10 as x = 2.4, find x when y =15. what x and y go together? Direct Variation

  5. If y varies directly as x and y = 10 find x when y =15. y = 10, x = 2.4 make these y1 and x1 y = 15, and x = ? make these y2 and x2 Direct Variation

  6. if y varies directly as x and y = 10 as x = 2.4, find x when y =15 Direct Variation

  7. How do we solve this? Cross multiply and set equal. Direct Variation

  8. We get: 10x = 36 Solve for x by diving both sides by 10. We get x = 3.6 Direct Variation

  9. Let’s do another. If y varies directly with x and y = 12 when x = 2, find y when x = 8. Set up your equation. Direct Variation

  10. If y varies directly with x and y = 12 when x = 2, find y when x = 8. Direct Variation

  11. Cross multiply: 96 = 2y Solve for y. 48 = y. Direct Variation

  12. Inverse is very similar to direct, but in an inverse relationship as one value goes up, the other goes down. There is not necessarily a constant rate. Inverse Variation

  13. With Direct variation we Divide our x’s and y’s. In Inverse variation we will Multiply them. x1y1 = x2y2 Inverse Variation

  14. If y varies inversely with x and y = 12 when x = 2, find y when x = 8. x1y1 = x2y2 2(12) = 8y 24 = 8y y = 3 Inverse Variation

  15. If y varies inversely as x and x = 18 when y = 6, find y when x = 8. 18(6) = 8y 108 = 8y y = 13.5 Inverse Variation
