Answer:

The joint variation says that:

y \propto x and y \propto \frac{1}{z}

then equation is in the form of:

y = k\frac{x}{z} where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

As y varies jointly with w and x and inversely with z

By definition joint variation we have;

y = k\frac{wx}{z}, .....[1]   where k is the constant of variation.

Given: y = 320 when w = 6 , x = 20 and z = 3

Solve for k

Substitute these in [1] we have;

320 = k\frac{6(20)}{3}

⇒320 = k \cdot 2 \cdot 20

⇒320 = 40k

Divide both sides by 40 we have;

8 = k

or

k = 8

Then the constant of variation is. 8 and the equation of variation is,

y =8 \cdot \frac{wx}{z}

I suppose we are to determine the proportionality constant of the variation. The equation for this proportionality is,
                          y = kwx / z
Substituting the known values,
                            320 = k(6)(20)/3
The value of k from the equation is 8.

Find the simply interest earned on an investment of $15,000 at a rate of 5.25% for two years.
uysha [10]
Ill show you step by step.

This is what the equation should look like 

Y=Initial value(1+/- Increasing or Decreasing value)^2 Which stands for time

So Y=15,000(1+.0525)^2

So you need to do 1.0525 to the 2nd power Which equals 1.10775625

So now you need to do 15,000(1.10775625)
