The document discusses four types of variation: direct variation, inverse variation, combined variation, and joint variation. It provides examples and explanations of direct variation, including how to write the direct variation equation as y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. It gives practice problems demonstrating how to write the direct variation equation for a given relationship, calculate the constant of proportionality using given values, and then use the full equation to solve additional problems.

17. So why call it direct variation? Look at the circle below. What will happen to the circle’s circumference (distance around) if we make the diameter(distance across) bigger? Notice that increasing the diameter also increased the circumference. This is typical of things that vary directly. Increasing one variable will also increase the other variable. Likewise decreasing one variable will also decrease the other variable. This is why it is called directvariation, whatever you do to one variable (increase or decrease) it will directly affect the other variable in the same way. d = 8 inches C = π(8) ≈ 25.12 in. d = 5 inches C = π(5) ≈ 15.7 in.
