COMBINED VARIATION Let x, y, and z denote three quantities. Y varies directly as x inversely as z if there is some positive constant k such that
Example 2: Find an equation of combined variation in where y varies directly as x and inversely as z. One set of values is y=25, x=10, and z=2. Find the value of y when x=4 and z=6. Solution: ๐ฆ = ๐๐ฅ ๐ง ๐ฆ =
๐ป๐๐๐๐ , ๐ฆ = 1 0 3 ๐ค ๐h ๐ ๐ฅ = 4 ๐๐๐ ๐ง =6.
y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y=6 when x=8 and z=4, find the value of y when x=12 and z=9.
y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y=4 when x=3 and z=6, find the value of y when x=5 and z=20.
y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y=8 when x= and z= , find the value of y when x= and z=3.
y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y=6 when x=and z= , find the value of y when x= 8 and z=.
y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y= when x= and z= , find the value of y when x= 2 and z=.
y varies directly as x and inversely as z, and y=5 when x= and z=, find the value of y when x= 9 and z=.
