Presentation Transcript

  1. Direct and Inverse Variation Investigation #1 Ramp height and length vs time

  2. Direct vs Indirect • “yvaries directly as x" means… y = kx What does that graph look like? • “yvaries inversely as x" means… y = k/x What does that graph look like? What is k? the constant at which the graph “changes”

  3. 1.) y varies directly with x. If y = -4 when x = 2, find y when x = -6. • 2.) y varies inversely with x. If y = 40 when x = 16, find x when y = -5.

  4. Direct, Indirect, or Neither? • g = -7p • v = f / -3 • d = 9 / r

  5. What is the constant of variation (k)? • u = 5m • z = -0.3/r • y = (1/3) f

  6. Real life… (from worksheet) • 26) The electric current I, is amperes, in a circuit varies directly as the voltage V. When 12 volts are applied, the current is 4 amperes. What is the current when 18 volts are applied?
