Translate into an equation: p varies directly with m cubed.

sam (.sam.):

\[p(m) ^{3}\]

anything not sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure

i have another question. y varies inversely with twice the value of x. When y=8, x=2. Find y when x=8.

sam (.sam.):

y/2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y \alpha \frac{1}{2x}\] y = k/2x where k is a arbitrary constant. Substitute y=8, x=2. 8=k/2(2) 8=k/4 k=32 Thus the equation is y= 32/2x=16x when x=8, y=16(8) =128

Anw with regards to the question posted originally, p varies directly with m cubed. p is directly proportional to m^3 \[(p) \alpha (m ^{3})\] p=km^3, where k is an arbitrary constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what you're saying is i have to place the km^3 = p?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you want to translate into an equation: p varies directly with m cubed. U will get p=km^3, where k is an arbitrary constant.
