Direct Variation: The following are all equivalent:
✓ Y varies directly as x.
✓ Y is directly proportional to x.
✓ [pic] for some nonzero constant k where k is the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality.

Ex.1 The simple interest on an investment is directly proportional to the amount of the investment. By
investing $2500 in a certain bond issue, you obtained an interest payment of $187.50 at the end of the
first year. Find a mathematical model that gives the interest for this bond issue at the end of the first
year in terms of the amount invested P.

Direct Variation as an nth power: The following are all equivalent:
✓ Y varies directly as the nth power of x.
✓ Y is directly proportional to the nth power of x.
✓ [pic] for some nonzero constant k.

Ex. 2 Neglecting air resistance, the distance S an object falls varies directly as the square of the duration t
of the fall. An object falls a distance of 144 feet in 3 seconds
(a) Write an equation relating distance S and duration t.
(b) How far will the object fall in 6 seconds?

Inverse Variation : The following are all equivalent:
✓ Y varies inversely as x.
✓ Y is inversely proportional to x.
✓ [pic] for some constant k.

Ex. 3 A company has found that the demand for its product varies inversely as the price of the product.
When the price is $2.75, the demand is 600 units.
(a) Write an equation relating demand d and price p .
(b) Approximate the demand when price is $3.25.

Joint Variation : The following are all equivalent:
✓ Z varies jointly as x and y.
✓ Z is jointly proportional to x and y.
✓ [pic] for some constant k.
Ex. 4 The volume of a right circular cylinder varies jointly as its height and the square of its radius.
(a) Write an equation relating volume to height and radius where the volume is 2000 [pic] when the
radius is 5 inches and the height is 10 inches.
(b) Find the radius of the right circular cylinder when the volume is 8000[pic] and the height is 10 inches.
