Direction: Read and answer the following. Write your COMPLETE SOLUTION/S in a long bond paper (use more bond paper as
necessary). Strictly NO ERASURES (Date Given: September 24, 2025 Wednesday) (Submission: October 2, 2025 - Thursday)
I. Express each statement as an equation. (1point each)
1. W varies directly as the square of X
2. G is directly proportional to the cube root of H
3. a varies inversely to the 4th root of the square b
4. l varies directly as the reciprocal of m
5. d varies directly as the fourth power of e and inversely as the square of f
II. State whether each statement is TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer (2points each)
y
1. If y is directly proportional to x then the ratio is a constant.
x
2. If y is inversely proportional to x then x in inversely proportional to y.
3. In the equation y = x2 + 5, y varies directly as the square of x.
10
4. In the equation y = as x increases, y decreases.
x
5. The equation z =
√ x is a joint variation.
y

3 4 5 3 8
3. If t varies jointly with x and the square of v, and t = 39 when x = √ 10 and v = 3.87, find t when x = √ 3
and v = 7.21.
4. If y varies directly as x2, and y = 5 when x = 7, find y when x = 9.

IV. Word problem. Show your complete solution. (3points each)
1. On a map, distance in km and distance in cm varies directly, and 25 km are represented by 2cm. If two cities are 7cm
apart on the map, what is the actual distance between them?
2. The time it takes to fly from Manila to Macau varies inversely as the speed of the plane. If the trip takes 6 hours at 900
km/h, how long would it take at 800 km/h?
3. Iloilo stadium has a seating capacity for 25,000 spectators. The stadium has 25 exits and can be vacated in 20 minutes.
The time taken to exit the stadium varies directly with the number of spectators and inversely with the number of exits.
Determine the time taken for 21,000 spectators to vacate the stadium, if only 15 exits are functional.
4. A pennant flag that is 2 inches high with a base of 1.5 inches has an area of 1.5 square inches. The area of a triangle
varies jointly with the base and height. Find the area of a flag whose base measures 2 inches and height is 2.5 inches.
5. A train from Newark to Bualo travels at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour and covers a distance of 270 miles in 9
hours. The speed of a train varies directly with the distance covered and inversely with the time taken. Determine the
speed of the train, if it travels a distance of 248 miles in 6.2 hours.
6. Ralph invested ₱18,500 in the share market for a period of 2 years and earned an interest of ₱1,850 at the rate of 5%.
The simple interest varies jointly with the principal, rate of interest, and the period of investment. Find the amount
invested, if a person received an interest of ₱3,960 for 3 years at the rate of 6%.
7. If a varies jointly as the product of x and c and inversely as the square of d. If d is doubled and c is tripled, then to what
number must x be multiplied to maintain a?
my
8. In the formula x2 = , how does x change when m remains constant, y is halved, and t is doubled?
t
9. y varies inversely as the square of x, what is the effect on y if x is increased by 75%?
10. If a varies jointly with b and c and inversely with r, what is the effect on a if b and c are halved and r is doubled?
