    The document provides examples and practice problems for inverse variation. Inverse variation occurs when two quantities have a product that equals a constant value, such that as one quantity increases the other decreases. The relationship can be written as an equation with one quantity over the other equal to the constant of variation. Examples show how to write inverse variation statements as equations and solve for unknown values. Practice problems have students write inverse variation statements as equations and determine constants of variation from given values.

    Inverse Variation
    Inverse variation happens whenever the situation produces two quantities whose product
    is a nonzero constant. It is described as one quantity increases, the other quantity decreases
    or as one quantity decreases, the other quantity increases . The statement “y varies
    k
    inversely as x” or “y is inversely proportional to x” may be written as y= or equivalently, xy =
    x
    k where k is the constant of variation.

    Example 1: Write in symbols: “m varies inversely as s” with k as the constant of


    variation.
    k
    Solution: Using the given variables, the corresponding equation will bem=
    s
    Example 2: If y varies inversely as x; and y is equal to 7 when x is equal to 3, find the
    variation constant and the equation of the variation.
    k
    Solution: y= translate “y varies inversely as x” into an equation
    x
    k
    7= substitute the given values in the equation
    3
    (7)(3)=k apply cross product property to solve for k
    21= k Therefore, the constant of variation is 21

    Example 3: If m varies inversely as d and m is 9 when d is 6, what is the value of m when d is 3?


    Solution: Step 1: solve for the constant of variation
    k
    m= translate “m varies inversely as d” into an equation
    d
    k
    9= substitute the given values in the equation
    6
    (9)(6)=k apply cross product property to solve for k
    54= k Therefore, the constant of variation is 54
    Step 2: solve for the value of m. (what is the value of m when d is 3?)
    k
    m= translate “m varies inversely as d” into an equation
    d
    54
    m= substitute the value of k(constant of variation) and d.
    3
    m=18 Therefore,the value of m is equal to 18.
    ACTIVITY 1: LET’S PRACTICE!
    Directions: Translate the following inverse variation statements into equations.
    1. e varies inversely as d
    2. m varies inversely as n
    3. g varies inversely as the t
    4. At a given constant temperature, the pressure (p) is inversely proportional as
    to its volume (v).
    5. The force of attraction (f) between two opposite electrical charges is inversely
    proportional as distance (d) between them.

    ACTIVITY 2: KEEP PRACTICING!


    Directions: Determine the constant of variation of the following statements:
    1. If y varies inversely as x, then y is 9 when x is 2.
    2. If C varies inversely as D, then C is 8 when D is 5.
    3. If S varies inversely as T, then S is 3 when T is 15.
    4. If v is inversely proportional to w, then w is 1/2 when v is 14.
    5. If r is inversely proportional to b, then r is 5 when b is 2/¿7

    ACTIVITY 3: TEST YOURSELF!


    Write each of the following statements into inverse variation equation and then solve for
    the unknown:
    1. If a varies inversely as b and a is 10 when b is 5, find a when b is 20.

    2. If y is inversely proportional to x and y is 8 when x is 3, find x when y is 6.

    3. Aki and Jiya are playing on a seesaw. Aki, who weighs 25


    kilograms sits 3 meters away from the fulcrum. If Jiya’s weight is
    20 kilograms, how far away must she sit from the fulcrum to
    balance seesaw?

    4. The number of days required to finish the job varies inversely with
    the number of workers doing the job. If 10 workers can complete
    the job in 6 days, how many workers are needed to finish the job in
    4 days?
