? Write an equation to describe each variation. Use k for the constant of proportionality.(1-3)
? If y varies directly as x, find the constant of variation K and the direct variation equation for each situation (4-6)
? If y varies inversely as x, find the constant of variation k and the inverse variation equation for each situation (7- 9)
? Write each statement as an equation (10)

1) P varies directly as q
2) Y varies jointly as q,r, and t
3) Y varies directly as a^5 and inversely as b
4) Y = 12 when x = 8
5) Y = 11 when x = 1/3
6) At sea, the distance to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation of the observer. If a person who is 36 feet above the water can see 7.4 miles, find how far a person 64 feet above the water can see. Round answer to one decimal place.
7) Y = 20 when x = 9
8) Y = 1/10 when x = 40
9) The weight of an object on or above the surface of Earth varies inversely as the square of the distance between the object and Earth's center. If a person weighs 160 pounds on Earth's surface, find the individual's weight if he moves 200 miles above Earth. Round the answer to the nearest pound.(assume that earths radius is 4000 miles)
10) P varies jointly as R and the square of S.
