Z varies directly as Square x and inversely as y. If z = 187 when x = 64 and y = 6, find z if and 9. (Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth.)

Z = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Z = 187

x = 64

y = 6

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

Z = k√x/y

First of all, we would find the constant of proportionality, k;

187 = k√64/6

187 * 6 = k√64

1122 = 8k

k = 1122/8

k = 140.25

To find z, when x and y = 9

Z = 140.25√9/9

Z = (140.25 * 3)/9

Z = 420.75/9

Z = 46.75 ≈ 50

Note: The values in the latter part of the question isn't explicitly stated, so I assumed a value of 9 for both x and y.
