    Direct Variation

    This document discusses direct variation and how it relates two quantities that change at a constant rate with respect to each other. Direct variation is represented by the equation y=kx, where k is the constant of variation. The document provides examples of determining if relationships demonstrate direct variation by checking if the quantities have the same ratio or cross-product. It also shows how to write the equation of direct variation given the constant of variation or a corresponding x and y value. Finally, it presents a word problem on direct variation involving converting dog years to human years.

    DIRECT VARIATION

    1
    Direct Variation
    Observe the two quantities (distance and time of flight).

    What happens to the time of flight as the distance to be covered increases?


    As the distance to be covered increases, the time of the flight increases.

    This shows direct variation.


    As one quantity increases at a constant rate, the other
    quantity increases at a constant rate as well.
    As one quantity decreases at a constant rate, the other
    quantity decreases at a constant rate as well.

    Direct Variation 2
    Direct Variation
    To consider as a direct variation, there must be a constant rate in the
    increase or decrease of the quantities.

    Get the quotient of pair of


    corresponding quantities
    Same ratio means there is a constant rate.

    There is another method to check if there is a common ratio.


    6400 6400

    Get the cross-product

    Same product means there is a constant rate.

    Problem on Direct Variation
    Most pets age at a different rate than their human companions. For
    example, a 3-year-old dog is often considered to be 21 in human years.
    What is the human age of a dog that is 7 years old?

    Representation Let x be the dog’s actual age = 3


    of the given y be the human-equivalent age = 21
    Human-equivalent age of the dog
    varies directly as dog’s actual age

    Resulting equation

    Problem on Direct Variation
    Most pets age at a different rate than their human companions. For
    example, a 3-year-old dog is often considered to be 21 in human years.
    What is the human age of a dog that is 7 years old?

    Substitute x = 7 to the
