Question 171704: Having problems figuring this one out. x varies directly as the square of s and inversely as t. How does x change when s is doubled? When both s and t are doubled. Thanks. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can use what are called constants of variation
(1) ( is the constant)
(2) ( is the constant)
-------------
What if is doubled?
Compare this with (1). has been quadrupled
-------------
What if is doubled also?
Compare this with (2) has been halved
If you do both, the net result is
So, x is doubled
