A. ACTIVITY

Activity 2

Archimedes has gone down in history as the guy who ran

naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting this word. The
story behind that event was that Archimedes was charged with
proving that a new crown made for Hieron, the king of Syracuse,
was not pure gold as the goldsmith had claimed.

Direction: In a one-half sheet of paper. Match the letter

that corresponds to the answer to the numbered item. The
letters will spell out the word that Archimedes shouted.

Inverse Variation
Inverse variation occurs whenever a situation produces pairs of
numbers whose product is constant.
For two quantities x and y, an increase in x causes decrease in y
or vice versa. We can say that y varies inversely as x or y=k/x
The statement, "y varies inversely to x," translates to y=k/x where
k is the constant of variation.
Examples
1. Find the equation and solve for y varies inversely as x and
y=6 when x=18.
Solution:
The relation y varies inversely as x translates to y = k/x. Substitute
the values to find k.
y=k/x
6=k/18
k=(6)(18)
k=108
the equation of variation is y=108/x
2. if y varies inversely as x and y=10 when x=2, find y when x=10
Solution:
First, set the relation, and find the constant of variation, k.
xy=k
(2)(10)=k
k=20
The equation of variation is y=20/x
Next, find y when x=10 by substituting the value of x in the
equation
y=20/x
y=20/10
y=2

C. APPLICATION

Activity 3

Direction: In a one whole sheet of paper. Solve for the

indicated variable in each of the following.

1. If m varies inversely as a and m = 3 when a = 4,

find m when a = 6.
2. If t varies inversely as h and t = 100 when h = 27,
find t when h = 45.
3. If i varies inversely as s and i = -2 when s = -8, find
s when i = 2.
4. If l varies inversely as o and l = 10 when o = 5, find
l when o = 7.
 5. If v varies inversely as e and v = 12 when e = 8,
find e when v = 16.

D. ANALYSIS
1. Why do you think it is important to learn inverse variation?
2. Is it essential to our daily living?

III. ASSESSMENT
SOLVE ME NOW!!!
The students will be divided into five (5) groups. Each group
will have different problems to answer based on the topic being
tackled. Each group must assign their leader to lead, and a
secretary to write their answer.

1. The number of days needed in repairing a house

varies inversely as the number of men working. It
takes 15 days for 2 men to repair the house. How
many are needed to complete the job in 6 days?
2. Two college students decided to rent an apartment
near the school where they are studying. The
nearest and cheapest apartment costs Php 5,000
a month, which they find too much for their monthly
budget. How many students will they need to share
the rent with so that each will pay only Php 1,250 a
month.
3. At 60 kilometers per hour it takes Loida 10 hours to
travel from her house to their house in the province.
How long will it take her if she travels at 80
kilometers an hour?
4. The ten administrative staff of a school decided to
tour the nearby towns of Laguna on a particular
day. They decided to hire a van for Php 4,000. Two
days before the trip, two pf the staff were assigned
to attend a seminar and so could no longer join the
trip. How much would each share for the van
rental?
5. Joseph is figuring out a way to reach Baguio at the
shortest possible time. Using his car, he can reach
Baguio in 6 hours at an average speed of 70 km
per hour. How fast should he drive in order to reach
Baguio in 5 hours?

IV. ASSIGNMENT
Direction: In a one whole sheet of paper. Solve the following word
problems. (10 points each)
 1. The volume of gas at constant temperature varies inversely as the
pressure. The volume of a gas is 75 milliliters when the pressure is 1.5
atmospheres. Find the volume of the gas when the pressure is increase
to 2.5 atmospheres.
2. The length of a violin string varies inversely as the frequency of its
vibrations. A violin string 14 inches long vibrates at a frequency
of 450 cycles per second. Find the frequency of a 12 -inch violin string.
