7.6 – Rational Equations

Main Idea: Clear out the fractions by

multiplying through on each side of the

equation by the least common denominator.

Be careful to check that your solution(s) work.

Make sure that when you substitute your

solution into the problem, you don't get a zero

in the denominator.

7.8 – Variation

Direct Variation

Inverse Variation

"k" is called the

Process for Solving:

1. Identify the type of variation. Write the

"base" equation.

2. Substitute in the given values to solve for k.

3. Write the general variation equation for the

problem using the value of k you just found.

4. Use the clues to find the requested value.

1. y varies directly with x, and y=10 when x=2.

Find the general variation equation and use it

to find y when x=14.

2. y varies inversely with x, and y=6 when x=10.

Find the general variation equation and use it

to find y when x=8.

3. y varies jointly with x and w and inversely

with z. y=4 when x=3, z=8 and w=12. Find y

when x=6, z=10 and w=8.

4. I varies inversely with the square of d, and

I=30 when d=4. Find I when d=6.

7.8 #42 The number of turkeys needed for a

Thanksgiving dinner is directly proportional to the

number of guests. If a cook knows that 3 turkeys

will feed 42 guests, how many turkeys should he

cook for 70 guests?

sides by it.
