Joint Variation 9

The document defines and provides examples of joint variation and combined variation. Joint variation means that a variable y varies as two other variables x and z, such that y = kxz for some non-zero constant k. Combined variation means y varies directly as one variable and inversely as another, such that y = kx/z. Several word problems demonstrate how to set up and solve equations for joint and combined variation.

Joint Variation

Or
Combined Variation
Definition:
y varies jointly as x and z if there exists a nonzero number k
such that y = kxz, where x is not equal to zero and z is not
equal to zero.
Example:
The area (A) of a trapezoid varies jointly as the height (h)
and sum of the bases 𝑏1 and 𝑏2 . Find the equation of joint
variation if A = 40 𝑚2 , h= 4m, 𝑏1 = 8m and 𝑏2 = 12m.
Try it :

The area of rhombus varies jointly


with the lengths of the diagonals 𝑑1
and 𝑑2 . Find the equation of joint
2
variation if A = 24𝑚 , 𝑑1 =6m and 𝑑2
= 8m.
Example :

Suppose y varies jointly as x and z and y =32


when x = 8 and z = 2. find y when x= 15 and z
= 6.
Try it :

Suppose a varies jointly as b and


c and a = 145 when b = 9 and c =
5. find a when b = 8 and c = 4.
Example ;

The area of a rectangle varies jointly


as its length and width. Find the
equation of joint variation if A = 60
ft. l= 15ft and w= 4ft.
Try it:
The area of a parallelogram
varies jointly as its base and
height. Find the equation of joint
variation if A= 184ft, b = 23ft and
h = 8ft.
Combined Variation :
If a situation is modeled by an equation of the form

y=
𝒛
Where k is a nonzero constant, we say that y varies
directly as x and inversely as z. the number k is called
the variation constant.
If y varies directly with the
square of x and inversely with z.
If x = 2 , y = 1 and z = 10, find y
when x =4 and z=5.
Try it :

If a varies directly with the cube of b and


inversely with c and b= 2, and a = 8 and c =
4 . Find a when b = 6 and c=12.
