Question 1069224: If y is directly proportional to the 3/2 power of x and inversely proportional to w, and y is 287 when x is 853 and w is 361, evaluate the constant of proportionality, and write the complete equation for y in terms of x and w.
Give your answer in the form k*(x^a)*(w^b) where a, b and k are real numbers. Round the coefficient k to 2 decimal places.
y =
