Question 222300: Hello,
I'm good with solving direct and inverse but they threw in direct and inverse and I'm not quite sure how to treat this problem. Is it two problems?
Suppose z varies directly as the square of x and inversely as y. If z=8 when x=4 and y=6, find z when x=6 and y=12.
Thank you

Use the initial conditions to solve for just as you would if it was only a direct or an inverse relationship.
