This document contains 8 multiple choice questions about variation equations: 1. The questions ask about direct and inverse variation equations and how to write statements of variation in equation form. 2. Key concepts covered include direct variation (varies directly as), inverse variation (varies inversely as), and joint variation (varies jointly as). 3. The correct answers are provided to test understanding of different variation equations including Boyle's law and Charles' law.
