m varies jointly with the square of n and the square root of q.
m = k*n^2*sqrtq
-------------------
If m = 24 when n =2 and q =4,
solve for K:
24 = k*4*2
k = 3
So, m = 3*n^2*sqrt(q)
----------------------------
find m when n = 5 and q = 9
m = 3*25*3
m = 225

F varies jointly as x and y means where k is the constant of variation.

For your problem:


You are given that when and , so:

=> , therefore

Now you can write:

Finding m for n = 5 and q = 9 is a simple matter of substitution and arithmetic.
