LEARNING COMPETENCIES:
Illustrate situations that involve joint variation
Translate into variation statement a relationship between two quantities given by:
(a) a table of values; (b) a mathematical equation; (c) a graph, and vice versa
Solve problems involving joint variation
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this module, the learner shall be able to:
1. identify situations that involve joint variation
2. illustrate mathematical sentence/formula that shows joint variation
3. solve problems involving joint variation
4. understand the importance of mathematics in sustaining peace in the society
Math Trivia: In mathematics, unity is simply a synonym for the number "one" (1), the integer
between the integers zero (0) and two (2).
The number one (1) represents a single entity and it is our unit of counting. It is the first non-zero
number of the natural/counting numbers used for counting and ordering. The universal usage of the
number 1 is known all over the world. This shows that mathematics has its own language using he
medium of numbers and symbols. Thus, we can communicate in Mathematics, and through Mathematics.

Joint Variation
If the value of y varies jointly with the value of x and z, then Y = 𝒌𝒙𝒛
EXAMPLE 1. Suppose y varies jointly as x and z, and y=32 when x=8 and z=2,
find y when x=15 and z=6
Solution.
EXAMPLE 3. Suppose L varies jointly as m and the square of n, and L=32.6 when m=4.5 and n=2,
find m when L=1.5 and n = 6. 1
Solution.

APPLICATION 1. The area (A) of a rectangle varies jointly as its length (l) and width(w). If the
area of the rectangle is 60 ft² when the length is 15 ft and width is 4ft,
what is the area if the length is 22ft and width is 9 ft?
Solution.

APPLICATION 2. In Physics, the force (f) is directly proportional to the mass (m) and
acceleration (a) of the object. Given that the force is 130 Newtons when the mass is 80kg with
acceleration of 45m/s², find the mass of the object when the force exerted is 75 Newtons with
acceleration of 30 m/s²?
Solution.
PRACTICE YOURSELF (Answer this during the asynchronous time to practice and for a chance to get a star next meeting)
Enrichment 1. The volume (V) of a can varies jointly as the height (h) of the can and the square of its radius(r).
A can with an 8 inch height and 4 inch radius has a volume of 402.12 in³. What is the volume of a
can that has a 2 inch radius and a 10 inch height? Answer: _________
Enrichment 2. The volume of a solid (V) with a circular base varies jointly with the height (h) and the square of
the radius(r). When the volume is 83.78 cm³, the height is 5 cm and the base radius is 4 cm. Find
the height of the solid, if its volume is 112 cm³ with radius of 3cm. Answer: ________
