1.   If y varies inversely as x and y = 12 when x = 7, find x when y = 2.
    A. 42 B. 7
    C. 5 D. 10
    Hint

  2.   If y varies jointly as the square of x and the cube of z and y = 9 when x = 3 and z = 4, find y when x = 8 and z = 5.
    A. 100 B. 125
    C. 45 D. 40
    Hint

  3.   Suppose y varies directly as x and y = 13 when x = 7. Find the constant of variation and write an equation.
    A. k = and y = x B. k = and y = 13 · 7x
    C. k = and y = x D. k = and y = 13 · 7x
    Hint

  4.   Use y = to find the value of y when x = 14.
    A. 28 B. 56
    C. 8 D. 98
    Hint

  5.   Dakota wants to cook a meal for his family. He knows that the more people who help, the less time it will take to prepare the food. Write an equation that represents this situation. Let C be the cooks in the kitchen, T be the time and k as the constant of variation.
    A. C = kT B. k = CT
    C. T = kC D. k = CT
