How to Deal With Direct and Inverse Variation Problems

A lot of time students are not able to differentiate between the two kinds of problems, and even if they are, they get confused on how to deal with the issues which have more than two dependent parameters. So here are a few steps that can help you in solving those problems.

1. Compare different columns of variables you have.
2. 2. One column is always fixed; that is your answer column.
3. 3. Each column is one by one compared with the answer column, and we mark it with an arrow alongside to show it's the trend with the answer column.
4. 4 In the answer column, the arrow always goes up. In contrast, in other columns, if the trend goes similarly with the answer column it goes up else goes down and at last, we always write each column as a fraction of arrowhead upon tail and then multiply all the fractions.
