Suppose that y varies jointly with w and x and inversely with z and y = 540 when w = 15, x = 30, and z = 5. Write the equation that models the relationship...
y = kwx/z
Solving for k using the given values:
540 = k * 15 * 30 / 5
540 = 450k
k = 540/450
k = 1.2
Therefore, the equation that models the relationship is:
y = 1.2wx/z
that is incorrect
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct that.
Since y varies jointly with w and x and inversely with z, the equation that models the relationship is:
y = kwx/z
Using the given values:
540 = k * 15 * 30 / 5
540 = 450k
k = 540 / 450
k = 1.2
Therefore, the correct equation that models the relationship is:
y = 1.2wx/z
