Recall: For all possible values of x, y, and z, if: i) x varies directly as y, ii) iii)

, for some constant k, then we say that

, for some constant k, then we say that x varies inversely as y,

, for some constant k, then we say that x varies jointly as y and z. Note that in all

three, k is called the constant of variation. 1) Suppose a varies directly as b, but varies inversely as c. If a = 2 when b = 5 and c = 9, then what is c when b = 3 ? 2) If a and b varies directly, and b and c also varies directly, then how are a and c related ? 3) Danica can finish the problems in one chapter of her mathematics textbook in 8 hours. Suppose that the problems in each chapter take the same amount of time to solve, and that there are 36 chapters. How many students working together at the same rate as Danica would it take to finish the whole book in one day ? 4) Each employee in Company A can paint Danicas mansion alone in 12 hours, while each employee in Company B can paint Danicas mansion alone in 36 hours. Danica wants her mansion to be painted in 3 hours. If Danica can only hire 3 employees in Company A, how many employees from Company B must she hire in order to have her mansion painted on time ? 5) Eight farmers can clear twenty acres of a field in three days. How many farmers are needed to clear fifty acres in five days ? 6) Suppose y varies jointly as the 50 integers . If Aaron triples 10 of the s, by what number must Almeric multiply each of the rest of the 7.1) Suppose x and y varies inversely. If q be related ? 7.2) Suppose x and y varies inversely. If related ? 8) Given that y varies directly as and and s to leave y unchanged ?

also varies inversely, then how must p and varies directly, then how must p and q be

, and that y = 6 when x = 1, find the value of y when x = 3.

9) If y varies inversely as , complete the table on the right and express y in terms of x. 10) Given that y varies directly as and that the difference between the value of y when x = 2 and x = 5 is 32, express y in terms of x and find the value of y when x = 3. 11) (BOOK EXERCISE) On pages 348 349, answer all odd numbers of Written Exercises 12) (BOOK EXERCISE) On page 357, answer Chapter Review Letter D SAMPLE WORKED-OUT PROBLEM (BOOK EXERCISE, page 348, number 5): page 348, number 5.) In the formula times as large, how is H changed ? SOLUTION: Let new H, which is be the new H. Then, , is now 36 times as large as the original or initial H. . Hence, the , R remains constant. If I is tripled and t is 4
