11.1 Problem Solving Using Ratios and Proportions
A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction.
For example: Your school’s basketball team has won 7 games and lost 3 games. What is the ratio of wins to losses?
Because we are comparing wins to losses the first number in our ratio should be the number of wins and the second number is the number of losses.
The ratio is =games wongames lost
7 games3 games

![Page 2: 11.1 Problem Solving Using Ratios and Proportions A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction. For example:Your school’s basketball.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d835503460f94a69f7c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
In a ratio, if the numerator and denominator are measured in different units then the ratio is called a rate.
A unit rate is a rate per one given unit, like 60 miles per 1 hour.
Example: You can travel 120 miles on 60 gallons of gas. What is your fuel efficiency in miles per gallon?
Rate = =
Your fuel efficiency is 20 miles per gallon.

![Page 3: 11.1 Problem Solving Using Ratios and Proportions A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction. For example:Your school’s basketball.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d835503460f94a69f7c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
An equation in which two ratios are equal is called a proportion.
A proportion can be written using colon notation like this
a:b::c:d
or as the more recognizable (and useable) equivalence of two fractions.

a:b::c:d
When ratios are written in this order, a and d are the extremes, or outside values, of the proportion, and b and c are the means, or middle values, of the proportion.

To solve problems which require the use of a proportion we can use one of two properties.
The reciprocal property of proportions.
If two ratios are equal, then their reciprocals are equal.
The cross product property of proportions.
The product of the extremes equals the product of the means

11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
Direct VariationThe following statements are equivalent:
y varies directly as x. y is directly proportional to x. y = kx for some nonzero constant k.
k is the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality
![Page 16: 11.1 Problem Solving Using Ratios and Proportions A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction. For example:Your school’s basketball.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d835503460f94a69f7c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
Inverse Variation
The following statements are equivalent:
y varies inversely as x. y is inversely proportional to x. y = k/x for some nonzero constant k.
![Page 17: 11.1 Problem Solving Using Ratios and Proportions A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction. For example:Your school’s basketball.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d835503460f94a69f7c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
If y varies directly as x, then y = kx.If y = 10 when x = 2 , then what is the value of y when x = 8?x and y go together. Therefore, by substitution 10 = k(2).What is the value of k? 10 = 2k
10 = 2k
5 = k
![Page 18: 11.1 Problem Solving Using Ratios and Proportions A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction. For example:Your school’s basketball.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d835503460f94a69f7c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
k = 5
Replacing k with 5 gives us y = 5x
What is y when x = 8 ?
y = 5(8)
y = 40

11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
If y varies inversely as x, then xy = k.
If y = 6 when x = 4 , then what is the value of
y when x = 8?
x and y go together. Therefore, by substitution
(6)(4) = k.
What is the value of k?
24 = k

11.5 Simplifying Rational Expressions
Define a rational expression. Determine the domain of a rational
function. Simplify rational expressions.

Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as fractions.
Rational expressions are algebraic fractions of the form P(x) , where P(x) and Q(x) Q(x) are polynomials and Q(x) does not equal zero.
Example:
3x 2 2x 1
4 x 1

P(x) ; Since division by zero is not Q(x) possible, Q(x) cannot equal zero.
The domain of a function is all possible values of x.
For the example , 4x + 1 ≠ 0
so x ≠ -1/4.
