Direct Variation

The document explains different types of variations: direct, inverse, and joint, along with their definitions and equations. It provides examples for each type, including direct linear and square variations, as well as inverse variation, illustrating how quantities relate to each other. Additionally, it covers laws of exponents and demonstrates how to simplify expressions involving exponents.

 Direct Variation: One thing goes up, the other goes up (at a constant rate).

 Inverse Variation: One thing goes up, the other goes down (at a constant
rate).
 Joint Variation: Multiple things affect the outcome.

Direct Linear Variation


Definition: Two quantities vary directly if one quantity increases at a constant rate as
the other quantity increases.
Equation: y = kx (where k is the constant of variation) Example: The cost of buying
apples varies directly with the number of apples you buy. If 5 apples cost $2.50, then
10 apples would cost $5.00.

2. Direct Square Variation

Definition: One quantity varies directly as the square of another quantity.


Equation: y = kx² (where k is the constant of variation)

Example: The area of a circle varies directly as the square of its radius. If a circle with
a radius of 2 cm has an area of 12.56 cm², then a circle with a radius of 4 cm would
have an area of 50.24 cm².

3. Inverse Variation

Definition: Two quantities vary inversely if one quantity increases at a constant rate
as the other quantity decreases.
Equation: y = k/x (where k is the constant of variation)

Example: The time it takes to travel a certain distance varies inversely with the
speed. If you travel at 60 km/h, it takes 2 hours to cover a certain distance. If you
travel at 30 km/h, it would take 4 hours to cover the same distance.

4. Joint Variation

Definition: One quantity varies jointly with two or more other quantities.

Equation: y = kxz (where k is the constant of variation)

Example: The volume of a rectangular prism varies jointly with its length, width, and
height. If a prism with a length of 3 cm, a width of 2 cm, and a height of 5 cm has a
volume of 30 cm³, then a prism with a length of 6 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of
10 cm would have a volume of 240 cm³.

Product of powers: x^m * x^n = x^(m+n) Quotient of powers: x^m / x^n =


x^(m-n)

Power of a power: (x^m)^n = x^(m*n) Power of a product: (xy)^n = x^n * y^n


Power of a quotient: (x/y)^n = x^n / y^n Example: Simplify (2x³y²)^4 using the
laws of exponents: (2x³y²)^4 = 2^4 * (x³)^4 * (y²)^4 = 16x¹²y⁸

√72=Find the largest perfect square that divides 72 (which is 36).


√72 = √(36 * 2) = √36 * √2 = 6√2
