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 = 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
x is directly proportional to y3 so x=ky3 where k is a constant.
y is inversely proportional to √z so y=s√z where s is a constant.
x=ky3 x=k(s√z)3 x=ks3z√z
When z = 12 , x = 3 So...
3=ks312√12 ks3=3⋅12√12 ks3=72√3
When z = 75 ,
x=ks3z√z x=72√375√75 x=72√3375√3 x=24125
