Variations

Joint Variation
•  A situation where a variable
depends on two or more other
variable.
• z varies jointly as x and y
• Examples:
• Find the equation of variation where m varies
jointly as k and f, and m = 36 when k = 3 and c
= 4.
• z varies jointly as x and y. If z = 28 when x = 4
and y = 2, find the constant of variation and the
equation of the relation.
Examples
• Translate each statement into a
mathematical sentence. Use k as the
constant of variation.
• P varies jointly as q and r
• V varies jointly as l, w and h
• The volume v of a cylinder varies jointly as
height h and square of the radius r
• The area of a parallelogram varies jointly as
the base b and altitude a
• The area of a triangle T varies jointly as the
base b and height h
• The distance covered of a vehicle varies
jointly as the rate r and time t.
Examples
• Solve for the value of the constant of
variation k, then find the missing value.
• z varies jointly as x and y, and z = 60 when x = 5
and y = 6.
• Find z when x = 7 and y = 6
• Find x when z = 72 and y = 4
• Find y when z =80 and x = 4
• A varies jointly as b and c. if a = 3 when x = 3
and y = 15, find z when x = 6 and y = 9.
• M varies jointly as square root of the product of
l and f. If m = 3 when f = 3 and l = 12, find f
when m = 6 and f = 64.

l and f. If m = 3 when f = 3 and l = 12, find f
when m = 6 and f = 64.

variable, some varies directly and
others inversely. • Z varies directly as x and inversely as y.
• z varies directly as x and inversely
as y

• If z varies directly as x and inversely as y, and z

= 9 when x = 6 and y = 2, find z when x = 8 and
y = 12.
