Question

Z varies directly as √√x and inversely as y. If: = 179 when x=25 and y= 7, find zifx = 64 and y = 4. (Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth.)

z=

Answer 1

We know that z varies directly as √√x and inversely as y, which can be written as:

z = k(√√x)/y

where k is the constant of proportionality.

To find the value of k, we can use the values given when x = 25 and y = 7:

179 = k(√√25)/7

179 = k(5/7)

k = (179*7)/5

k = 250.6

Now we can use this value of k to find z when x = 64 and y = 4:

z = 250.6(√√64)/4

z = 250.6(2)/4

z = 125.3

Therefore, z ≈ 125.3 when x = 64 and y = 4.
