Goals: Graph inverse variations.
Solve problems involving inverse variations.
Compare and Contrast Direct & Inverse Variation
is the constant of variation
[Algebra 1 (X)]
Inverse Variation
Example 1: Graph an Inverse Variation
Find an equation that relates and such that and vary inversely. Then, graph the inverse variation.
6, 15 Inverse Variation Equation
Step 1: Find k
Step 2: Write the Equation
Graph of Inverse Variation
Step 3: Table of Values (choose x‐values that k is divisible by)
x y 0
Step 4: Plot the Ordered Pairs and Connect with Two Curves
Product Rule
If , and , are solutions of the same inverse variation, then ⋅ and ⋅ .
Therefore,
Example 2: Solve for x
If and vary inversely, and 7 when 4, find when 14.
Step 1: Determine , , ,
Step 2: Substitute the values for , , , into the product rule formula Step 3: Solve for the missing x.
