Suppose z varies jointly with x and y. If z = 42 when x = 3 and y = 7, then what is z when x = 7 and y = 8?
Do not include "z =" in your answer.

Since z varies jointly as x and y, the value of z when x = 7 and y= 8 is; 112

According to the question, z varies jointly with X and y.

  • In essence, the relationship between z, x and y can be written as;

z = kxy

  • where k= constant of proportionality.

We therefore need to find k first, from the first set of values of z, ,x and y.

Then;

  • 42 = k × 3 × 7

  • k = 42/21

  • k = 2.

Consequently, the value of z when x = 7 and y = 8 is as follows;

  • z = 2 × 7 × 8.

z = 112.
