Question

Which describes the combined variation shown in the equation F = kxy/z?

1) F varies directly with x, and inversely with y
and z.
2)F varies directly with z, and inversely with x
and y.
3)F varies directly with y, and inversely with x and z.
4) F varies directly with x and y, and inversely
with z.

Answer 1

option 4

Explanation:

F =
`(kxy)/(z)`

k is the constant of variation

• if the variables are on the numerator they vary directly

• if the variables are on the denominator they vary inversely

In this case F varies directly with x and y ( variables on numerator ) and inversely with z ( variable on denominator )
