Y Varies directly as X and inversely as Z. Y=100 when X=5 and Z=10 Find Y when X=3 and Z=60

Mathematics
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]2 years ago

Answer:

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

based on the question if y  varries directly as x

mathematically

y ∝ x

also, y varries inversly as z can be mathematically expressed as

y ∝ 1/z

combining the two expressions

y ∝ x ∝ 1/z

i. e

y = kx/z..... where k is the constant of proportionality

make  k the subject of formulae

yz = kx

Divide both sides by x

k =yz/x

when y=100 , x = 5 z =10

k = 100 × 10/5

k = 200

to find y when x = 3 and z = 60

<h3>from the equation connecting x,y,z</h3>

k =yz/x

200 =60y/3

cross multiply

60y = 200 × 3

60y = 600

divide both sides by 60

y = 10

A square desktop has an area of 324 square inches. What is the length of one side of the desktop
Sveta_85 [38]
Question: The area of a square is 324 square inches. What is the length of one side of the square?
The formula for finding area of squares is:

Length x Width

Squares have 4 sides, and all sides measure the same. If the area is 324 square units, that means the length and width are the same.

x X x=x2

X2=324

x squared(x²) is equal to 324. To find x, you have to do the opposite of squaring, which is finding the square root.

x2= 324 —> square root of 324=x

To find x, you have find the square root of 324.

Square root of 324 is 8

The length of one side is 18 inches
Check:
The formula for finding area is:

Length x Width

The length and width gotten was 18. Put that into the formula:

18 x 18

Multiply:

18 x 18= 324

That means the answer is correct. Your answer is 18 inches.

Please help I’m vvv confused
Triss [41]

Equation is y=kx.  We have four chance to figure out k; hopefully they all give the same result

x=9, y=63,  y=kx becomes 63=k(9) so k=63/9=7

x=4, y=28, 28=k(4), k=7

The constant of proportionality is 7; we check  2×7=14, 11×7=77

Answer: k=7,   y=7x
