Question 325306: Suppose z varies directly with x and inversely with the square of y. When x=5 and Y= 9,z= 900. Find the equation of variation. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose z varies directly with x and inversely with the square of y.
---
z = kx/y^2
----
Find "k": using the following information.
When x=5 and Y= 9,z= 900.
---
900 = k*5/9^2
k= 900*81/5 = 14580
------------------------
Find the equation of variation.
Equation:
y = 14580x/y^2
