Question

Write a general formula to describe the variation: x varies jointly with the inverse of r and the inverse of the square of the sum of y and z

Answer 1

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{combined proportional variation} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\\ \textit{and inversely with \underline{z}} \end{array}\implies y=\cfrac{kx}{z}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{"x" varies with}}{x}~~=~~k\stackrel{\textit{inverse of "r"}}{\cfrac{1}{r}}\cdot \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{inverse of}~\hfill }{\textit{square of a sum}}}{\cfrac{1}{(y+z)^2}}~\hfill x=\cfrac{k}{r(y+z)^2}$
