: Express the following stattement as a formula with the value of the constant of proportionality determined with the given conditions: w varies directly as x and inversely as the square of y. If x=15 and y=5, then w=36. This question is from textbook Algebra and Trigonometry
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Express the following statement as a formula with the value of the constant of proportionality determined with the given conditions: w varies directly as x and inversely as the square of y. If x=15 and y=5, then w=36.
------------------
w = kx/y^2
Find k which is the constant of proportionality.
36 = k*15/5^2
900 = 15k
k = 60
---------
EQUATION:
w = 60[x/y^2]
