    Combined Variation

    This document discusses combined variation, where a quantity can vary directly with one variable and inversely with another. It provides three examples of quantities that exhibit combined variation: 1) The quantity P varies directly with b and inversely with w. 2) The quantity D varies jointly with m and the square of h and inversely with p. 3) The force of attraction of a body varies directly with the mass and inversely with the square of the distance from the body. The document also explains how to determine the constant of variation and write the equation of variation given information about the variables.
