Inverse Variations
Inverse variation happens
whenever the situation produces
two quantities whose product is a
nonzero constant. It is described as
one quantity increases the other
quantity decreases or as one
quantity decreases, the other 4
quantity increases. The statement
“y varies inversely as x” may be
𝑘
written as y = or equivalently,
𝑥
xy = k where k is the constant of
variation.
Examples:
1. “r varies inversely as s” can be
5
 𝑘
written as r = or rs = k.
𝑠
2. “the numbers (n) of workers and
the amount of time (t) to finish the
work” can be written as
𝑘
n = 𝑜𝑟 𝑛𝑡 = 𝑘.
𝑡
3. “the force (F) of attraction
between two opposite electrical 6
charges varies inversely as the
square of the distance (d) between
𝑘
them” can be written as F = 2 or
𝑑
F𝑑 = 𝑘.

➢ Table of Values
To determine whether the given table
of values follows an inverse variation,
it is important to get the product of the
given pair of values. If the product is a
constant number not equal to zero,
then the given table of values follows
an inverse variation. 9

➢ Graph
Figure 2 shows a graph for the table of
values. The graph of inverse variation is a
smooth curve line graph which will never
pass through the origin. Since the constant of
variation of the given values for the table is 5,
then the inverse variation representing the

graph in y = .

Examples:
1. If y varies inversely as x and y
is 7 when x is 3, find the
variation constant and the
equation of the variation.
2. If r varies inversely as t and r is
9 when t is 6, what is the value
of r when t is 3? 15
3. If a varies inversely as the cube of b
and a is 8 when b is 2, what is the
value of b when a is 16?
4. The number of days required to finish
the job varies inversely with the
number of workers doing the job. If 10
workers can complete the job in 6 days,
how many workers are needed to finish
the job in 4 days? 16

Method 2 Solution:
Since the constant of variation is k = xy,
we can establish the proportion that
𝑘 = 𝑥1 𝑦1 = 𝑥 2 𝑦2 where x will be the
number of workers to complete the
job and y will be the number of days
needed to finish the job.
22
Let 𝑥1 = 10 workers
𝑦1 = 6 days
𝑦2 = 4 days
𝑥2 = number workers needed
𝑥1 𝑦1 = 𝑥 2 𝑦2 Establish the
proportion needed
