Activity 4 - 8 A Thunderstorm

Objectives Recognize the equivalent forms of the direct variation statement Determine the constant of proportionality in a direct variation problem Solve direct variation problems

Vocabulary Vary Directly – if two variables both go up together or both go down together Proportionality constant – also known as the constant of variation; represented by k

Activity One of nature’s more spectacular events is a thunderstorm. The skies light up, delighting your eyes, and seconds later your ears are bombarded with the boom of thunder. Because light travels much faster than sound, during a thunderstorm you see the lightening before you hear the thunder. The formula d = 1080t describes the distance, d in feet, you are from the storm’s center if it takes t seconds for you to hear the thunder. Note: Light travels at d = 983,568,960t (a little faster!)

Activity cont d = 1080t Complete the following table: What does the ordered pair (5, 5400) from the above table mean a practical sense? As t increases, what happens to the value of d? Seconds, t12345 d, in feet 1080 2160 3240 4320 5400 Storm (lightning) is over a mile away d increases as well

Activity cont d = 1080t Graph the distance, d, as a function of time, t, using the values in the previous table. d t 6000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 1 2 3 4 5 6

Direct Variation Direct variation is when the independent variable, x, and dependent variable, y, magnitudes (absolute values) are directly related (i.e., if k is positive then x goes up, y goes up and when x goes down, y goes down). Graph always goes through the origin. The following statements are equivalent: y varies directly as x y is directly proportional to x y = kx for some constant k k is called the constant of proportionality or variation and can be positive or negative

Direct Variation Problems To solve problem involving direct variation: a.Write an equation of the form y = kx relating the variables and the constant of proportionality, k. b.Determine a value for k, using a known relationship between x and y (a fact given to us in the problem) c.Rewrite the equation in part a with the value from part b d.Substitute a know value for x or y and determine the unknown value

Example 1 The amount of garbage, G, varies directly with the population, P. The population of Grand Prairie, Texas, is 0.13 million and creates 2.6 million pounds of garbage each week. Determine the about of garbage produced by Houston with a population of 2 million. a) G = kP b) 2.6 = k(0.13) 2.6/(0.13) = k = 20 c) G = 20P d) G = 20(2) = 40 million pounds of garbage each week

Example 2 A worker’s gross wages, w, vary directly as the number of hours the worker works, h. The following table shows the relationship between wages and the hours worked. Graph w(h) Determine k in w = kh What is k? What is a worker’s wages for a 40-hour week? W h Hours, h1520253035 Wages, w\$172.50\$230.00\$287.50\$345.00\$402.50 b) 230 = k(20) 230/20 = k = 11.50 \$11.50 is the hourly wage d) w = 11.50(40) = \$460 for a 40-hour week

Example 3 Direct variation can involve higher powers of x, like x 2, x 3 or in general x n. The power P generated by a certain wind turbine varies directly as the square of the wind speed w. The turbine generates 750 watts of power in a 25 mph wind. Determine the power it generates in a 40 mph wind. y x a) P = kw 2 b) 750 = k(25) 2 750/625 = k = 1.2 c) P = 1.2w 2 d) P = 1.2(40) 2 = 2430 watts

Summary and Homework Summary –Two variables are said to vary directly if as the magnitude of one increases, the magnitude of the other does as well –Magnitudes are absolute values of the variables –Constant of proportionality or constant of variation is represented by k –The following statements are equivalent y varies directly as x y is directly proportional to x y = kx for some constant k Homework –pg 476 – 479; problems 1, 2, 4, 5
