Q. Suppose that z varies jointly with the cube of x and the square of y. Find the constant of proportionality k if z=3600 when y=3 and x=5. Using the k from above write the variation equation in terms of x and y. Using the k from above find z given that x=12 and x=13.
Identify General Form: Identify the general form of joint variation.Joint variation is when one variable varies directly as the product of two or more other variables. The general form of joint variation with the cube of x and the square of y is z=k×x3×y2, where k is the constant of proportionality.
Substitute Values into Equation: Substitute z=3600, y=3, and x=5 into the equation z=k×x3×y2.3600=k×53×32
Solve for Constant: Solve the equation for the constant of proportionality, k.3600=k×125×93600=k×1125k=11253600k=3.2
Write Joint Variation Equation: Write the joint variation equation using the value of k found in Step 3.Substitute k=3.2 into z=k×x3×y2.z=3.2×x3×y2
Find z with New Values: Use the joint variation equation to find z when y=12 and x=13. Substitute y=12 and x=13 into z=3.2×x3×y2. z=3.2×133×122
Calculate Final Value: Calculate the value of z.z=3.2×2197×144z=3.2×316368z=1011577.6
