Write an equation for the following: y varies directly with x and z. Find K when x=2, y=12 and z=5.

Sagot :

[tex]\qquad \qquad \textit{direct joint variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x} and \underline{z}}~\hspace{8.5em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xz~\hfill } \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}, }w^2\textit{ and }z^5~\hspace{6em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xw^2z^5~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill[/tex]

[tex]y = kxz\qquad \textit{we know that} \begin{cases} x=2\\ y=12\\ z=5 \end{cases}\implies 12=k(2)(5) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12}{(2)(5)}=k\implies \cfrac{6}{5}=k~\hspace{10em}\boxed{y=\cfrac{6}{5}xz}[/tex]
