You are given x is directly proportional to y^3, and y is inversely proportional to sqrt{z}. If the value of x is 3 when z is 12, what is the value of x when z is equal to 75?

x  is directly proportional to  y3     so     x=ky3     where  k  is a constant.

 

y  is inversely proportional to  √z     so     y=sz     where  s  is a constant.

 

x=ky3 x=k(sz)3 x=ks3zz

 

When   z = 12 ,   x = 3     So...

 

3=ks31212 ks3=31212 ks3=723

 

When   z = 75 ,

 

x=ks3zz x=7237575 x=7233753 x=24125

X = k y^3       y = k/sqrtz      combine to

 

x = k /sqrt z ^3

or

xsqrt z^3 = k   always

 

3(sqrt12)^3 = xsqrt( 75) ^3

 

x = 3 (sqrt12)^3 /(sqrt75)^3

x = 3 *8 /125 = 24/125
