SOLUTION: z varies directly as x3 and inversely as y3. If z = 132 when x = 9 and y = 3, find z if x = 10 and y = 9.

Question 1050489: z varies directly as x3 and inversely as y3. If z = 132 when x = 9 and y = 3, find z if x = 10 and y = 9.

z varies directly as x^3 and inversely as y^3.
z = k*x^3/y^3
-----------------------
Solve for "k" if z = 132 when x = 9 and y = 3
132 = k*(9^3)/(3^3)
---
132 = k*3^3
k = 4.89
------
Find z if x = 10 and y = 9.
z = 4.89*10^3/(9^3)
---
z = 6.71
-------------
