Solve It! You have 20 bags of mulch. You plan to spread the mulch from all the bags to make a rectangular layer that is 3-in. thick.

How many square feet can you cover?

If l and w represent the length and width of the rectangle in feet, what equation relates l and w?

Justify your reasoning.

Take Note: Identify the common forms representing inverse variation between x and y, with a constant of variation k.

  • k=\frac{y}{x}

  • y=kx

  • x=\frac{k}{y}

  • xy=k

  • y=\frac{k}{x}

  • Common forms of inverse variation

Problem 1 Got It? Classify each table as representing a direct variation, an inverse variation, or neither. Identify the function model for the direct and inverse variations.

NOTE: Any model that is neither direct variation nor direct variation will not have a function model.

  • Direct variation

  • Inverse variation

  • Neither

Problem 2 Got It? Suppose x and y vary inversely, and x = 8 when y = -7.

Drag the appropriate item from the left to respond to each question on the right.

  • -56

  • 26

  • -28

  • What is the function that models the inverse variation?

  • What does the graph of this function look like?

  • What is y when x = 2?

Problem 3 Got It? After a major storm, your math class volunteers to remove debris from yards. The table shows the time t in minutes that it takes a group of n students to remove the debris from an average-sized yard.

What function models the time needed to clear the debris from an average-sized yard relative to the number of students who do the work?

Problem 4 Got It? The number of bags of mulch you need to cover a planting area varies jointly with the area to be mulched a in square feet and the depth of the mulch d in feet. If you need 10 bags to mulch 120 ft2 to a depth of 3 in., how many bags do you need to mulch 200 ft2 to a depth of 4 in.?

Problem 5 Got It? How much potential energy would a 41-kg diver have standing on a 10-m diving platform?

Recall the formula for potential energy used in Problem 5, PE=gmh, as well as the gravitational constant, 9.8.

Problem 5 Got It? An 80-kg diver stands on a 6-m diving platform. At what height should a 40-kg diver stand to have equal potential energy? Do you need to find the potential energy of either diver to solve this? Explain.

Recall the formula for potential energy used in Problem 5, PE=gmh.

  • 6 m

  • 9 m

  • 10 m

  • 12 m

  • Yes. You must calculate the potential energy of both divers in order to determine at what height of the second diver their PE will be equivalent.

  • No. You don't need to calculate the potential energy of either diver in order to determine at what height of the second diver the PE will be equivalent.

  • At what height should a 40-kg diver stand to have equal potential energy?

  • Do you need to find the potential energy of either diver to solve this?
