Twelve Inverse Variation Problems

Once learners realize what direct variation is, they see it's just a type of linear function. The lesson poses a general question that leads to the creation of the y = kx formula. The resource includes discussion prompts and ideas for...

Scholars determine how two quantities vary with respect to each other. They complete a fill-in-the-blank activity by stating whether the entities vary directly, inversely, or jointly, create equations that match different variations, and...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

In this overview video of direct and inverse variation, Sal shows the general form of each equation and its differences. The listener gains an intuitive understanding of the differences by highlighting how the x and y values vary with...

Apply rational functions to a problem-solving situation through inverse variation. The video tutorial explains the concept of inverse variation and introduces learners to the formula. The instructor explains how to solve problems that...

Directly, find a missing value. The video demonstrates how to find the fourth value in a direct variation relationship knowing three others. Scholars learn to find the constant of variation and use it to find a missing value.

What would I weigh there? A video uses the relationship of the weight of an astronaut on Earth and the moon to create a direction variation equation. Using the created equation, pupils find the weight of any astronaut on the moon.

Enhance pupil understanding of proportions and variable relationships by studying direct and inverse variation. Use the idea of a proportional relationship to teach direct variation. Then use a similar pattern to help individuals...

Don't panic! There is a pretty simple straightforward formula to solve this problem. Some of the words are a bit overwhelming: indirect variation, inverse, constant of variation, indirect proportionality. But one simple formula and just...

Inverse, reverse, indirect, what? Indirect variation, indirect proportion, constant of variation, inverse proportion, inverse variation, oh my!! Just watch the video and the instructor will explain these things rather straightforward.
