Direct vs Inverse

• “y varies directly as x" means… y = kx

What does that graph look like?• “y varies inversely as x" means…

y = k/x What does that graph look like?What is k?

the constant at which the graph “changes”

1.) y varies directly with x. If y = -4 when x = 2, find y when x = -6.

2.) y varies inversely with x. If y = 40 when x = 16, find x when y = -5.

Direct, Inverse, or Neither?

• g = -7p

• v = f / -3

• d = 9 / r

Page 5: Direct and Inverse Variation

What is the constant of variation (k)?

• u = 5m

• z = -0.3/r

• y = (1/3) f

Real life…

(from worksheet)• 26) The electric current I, is amperes, in a

circuit varies directly as the voltage V. When 12 volts are applied, the current is 4 amperes. What is the current when 18 volts are applied?

Exponent Rules

• Multiplication means add exponents…Why? x2 x∙ 8

• Division means subtract exponents…Why? X8/x2

• Negative exponents “switch places”…

y x∙ -8

• Power to a power: multiply exponents…Why? (x2)8

Radicals, dude

• Treat them like “like terms.”• How would you simplify “3x + 8y – 9x” ?

• Simplify 3√5 + 8 √7 – 9 √5
