I. OBJECTIVES
The learners will be able to demonstrate understanding
A. CONTENT STANDARD
of key concepts of variation and radicals.
The learners will be able to formulate and solve
B. PERFORMANCE STANDARD
accurately problems involving radicals.
IV. PROCEDURE
Ask the learners:
1. What are the different types of variation?
A. REVIEW 2. What is the first and most important step in
calculating for a certain variation? Why is it
the most important step?
Show formulas for different shapes and ask the
B. MOTIVATION learners what do they found in them that are in
common.
Direct Variation - where one variable is a
constant multiple of another
Inverse Variation - where when one of the
variables increases, the other one decreases
(their product is constant)
Joint Variation - where more than two variables
are related directly
C. KEY TERMS Combined Variation - which involves a
combination of direct or joint variation, and
indirect variation
Constant of Variation - is the number that
relates two variables that are directly
proportional or inversely proportional to one
another.

Answer:
( c ) The acceleration a of an object
( b ) varies
( d ) directly as the force f exerted on the object
and
( a ) inversely as the object's mass m.

1. What have you noticed on the answers that you
got?
ANALYSIS 2. Are you familiar in translating a mathematical
statement into a mathematical equation?
3. Can you give some other real-life applications?
Steps in solving problems in variations
1. Identify the changing variables in the variation
problem.
What would you do if no variables were set in
the problems?
2. Translate or write the equation in the standard
formula.
What is the standard formula for direct
variation? Inverse? Joint?
ABSTRACTION 3. Using the given values of all the variables
used, substitute and solve for the constant of
variation.
What would you do if the constant of variation
is already given?
4. After getting the constant of variation, solve
for the needed variable by substituting the
solved value of the constant of variation and
other given variables to the written equation.
5. Simplify and finalize your answer.

Example:
1. The acceleration a of an object varies directly
as the force f exerted and inversely as its mass
m. If the constant of variation is 1, find the
acceleration in meters/second2 (m/s2) of a 10 kg
object exerting a force of 10 Newtons.
V. EVALUATION
The force of attraction, F of a body varies directly
as its mass m and inversely as the square of the
distance d from the body. When m = 8 kilograms and d
= 5 meters, F = 100 Newtons. Find F when m= 2
kilograms and d = 15 meters
What other real-life situations can you apply variation?
VI. ASSIGNMENT
Cite at least 1 example.
REFLECTION: “If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan but never
the goal.”
