    F varies directly as g and inversely as r^2

    F varies directly as g and inversely as r^2 Givens and assumptions We take a constant of variation called k. Varies directly means we multiply our variable term by k Varies inversely means we divide k by our variable term The phrase varies directly or varies inversely means we have a constant...

    does the equation y= x/3 represent a direct variation? If so, state the value of k

    does the equation y= x/3 represent a direct variation? If so, state the value of k Yes, it's a direct variation equation. We rewrite this as: y = 1/3 * x So k = 1/3, and y varies directly as x.

    Suppose that h(x) varies directly with x and h(x)=44 when x = 2. What is h(x) when x = 1.5?

    Suppose that h(x) varies directly with x and h(x)=44 when x = 2. What is h(x) when x = 1.5? Direct variation means we set up an equation: h(x) = kx where k is the constant of variation. For h(x) = 44 when x = 2, we have: 2k = 44 Type this equation into our search engine, we get: k = 22 The...
