The variable z varies directly with x and inversely with the cube of y.
a) Write the formula for this variation.
z = k*x/y^3
-----------------------
b) If z=12/27 when x=6 and y=3
Find "k"::
12/27 = k*6/3^3
-----
12 = 6k
k = 2
-----
Equation:
y = 2x/y^3
-------------------
find z when x=5 and y=4.
z = 2*5/4^3
z = 10/64
---------------------
