*** Will give you a medal *** Suppose that y varies jointly with w and x and inversely with z and y = 360 when w = 8, x = 25, and z = 5. Write the equation that models the relationship. Then find y when w = 4, x = 4, and z = 3.

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

y varies jointly with w and x --> \(y=kwx\) y varies inversely with z--->\(y=k'/z\) so, overall, \(y=kwx/z\)

hartnn (hartnn):

got that^ ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya now plug it in

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, you will be able to find k then....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k=9

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, correct :)

hartnn (hartnn):

what about y when w = 4, x = 4, and z = 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is 48 ?
