Defnition o Ratio
A ratio is an indicated quotient o two quantities.
Every ratio is a raction and all ratios can be describedby means o a raction. The ratio oxand y is writtenasx : y. it can also be represented as .
Thus, .

DIRECT VARIATION
8/9/2019 MATH 10-3 Lesson 9 Ratio, Proportion and Variation

DIRECT VARIATION
"any real#lie situations involve variables that arerelated by a type o equation called a variation.
$or e%ample, a stone thrown into a pond enerates
circular ripples whose circumerences anddiameters increase in si&e.
The equation C' de%presses the relationship
between the circumerence Co a circle and itsdiameter d. ! dincreases, then Cincreases. Thecircumerence Cis said to vary directly as thediameter d.

DIRECT VARIATION
Defnition o Direct (ariationThe variableyvaries directl as the variablex, oryis directl proportional tox, i and only i

DIRECT VARIATION
Direct variation occurs in many daily applications. $ore%ample, suppose the cost o a newspaper is )* cents.
The cost Cto purchase nnewspapers is directly
proportional to the number n.
That is, C ' )*n. !n this e%ample the variationconstant is )*.
To solve a problem that involves a variation, wetypically write a eneral equation that relates thevariables and then use iven inormation to solve orthe variation constant.
