Combined Variation

The formula for Combined Variation is represented as:

• y = kx

• y = k/x

• y = kxz

• y = kx/z

If s varies directly as t and inversely as v, then which of the following equations describes the relation among the three variables s, t, and v?

• s = k / tv

• s = kv / t

• 1/s = kt/ v

• s = kt / v

The cost c varies directly as the number of n pencils is written as

• c = kn

• k = cn

• n = k/c

• c = k/n
