Question

The value of y varies jointly with the values of x and z When x = 4 and z = 10, the value of y is 360.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Joint variation is given by:

$y=kxz$

Where k is some constant.

We are given that y = 360 when x = 4 and z = 10. Therefore:

$360=k(4)(10)$

Solving for k:

$40k=360\Rightarrow k=9$

Therefore, our equation is:

$y=9xz$

Then when x = 5 and z = 12:

$y=9(5)(12)=540$

The answer is A.
