Question 1130836: a) y varies jointly as x and w and inversely as the square of z. Find the equation of variation when y=100, x=2, w=4, and z=20.
(b) Then solve for y when x=1, w=5 and z=4.
Please show me how you get the answer, thanks.
I have the formula y=kxw/z squared, but I don't know if that is jointly or inversely. If it is inversely, then I need help with the jointly, which I think is y=kxwz Answer by josgarithmetic(39625) (Show Source):
