Combined Variation

1) The volume of gas varies directly with temperature and inversely with pressure. The volume is 230 cubic cm when temperature is 300K and pressure is 20 pounds per square cm. The volume is found to be 192 cubic cm when temperature is 270K and pressure is 30 pounds per square cm. 2) The stopping distance of a car varies directly with speed and inversely with road friction. The stopping distance is 50 feet when speed is 20 and friction is 2. The stopping distance is 100 feet when speed is 40 and friction is 4. 3) The mass of water heated varies directly with power and inversely with wattage. The mass is found to be 56 minutes when power is 42 watts and

Combined variation describes a
situation where a variable depends K=8
on two (or more) other variables, 2) If f varies directly as g and
and varies directly with some of them inversely as the square of
and varies inversely with others
h, and f=20 when g=50 and
(when the rest of the variables are
held constant). For example, h=5, find f when g=18 and
if y varies directly h=6

There are three basic steps root of c, and y=12 when
1) Find the k(Constant Variation) a=3, b=2, and c=64, find y
2) Make the equation of the variation
