Suppose z varies directly with y and directly with the cube of x. If z = 2560 when = 4 and y = 10, what is z when I 4? 8 and y z = I Question Help: D Video

Respuesta :

It is given that z varies directly with y and directly with the cube of x.

[tex]z=kyx^3[/tex]

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

First, we need to find the value of k.

It is given that z = 2560 when x = 4 and y = 10

[tex]\begin{gathered} z=kyx^3 \\ \frac{z}{yx^3}=k \\ k=\frac{z}{yx^3} \\ k=\frac{2560}{10\cdot(4)^3} \\ k=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the value of k is 4

The relation becomes

[tex]z=4yx^3[/tex]

Now we can easily find the value of z when x = 8 and y = 4

[tex]\begin{gathered} z=4(4)(8)^3 \\ z=4(4)(512) \\ z=8192 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of z is 8192
