H varies jointly with the square g and the square root f. If
H = 160, when g = 4 and f = 25.
Find H , when g = 1 and f = 81
|
Solve |
Step |
|
The goal is to find k, then H. |
Plug in the values |
|
|
Use
the formula for joint variation the square g, square root f |
|
If H = 160, when g = 4 and f = 25 |
Given |
|
|
Plug in g, f and H |
|
160 = 16(5)k |
Perform operations |
|
160 = 80k |
Divide by 80 |
|
k = 2 |
constant of proportionality |
|
|
The formula |
|
|
Plug in 1 and 81 to find H |
|
H = 2(1)(9) = 18 |
