Problema Solution

P varies jointly as r and m2. When r=5 and m=3ˏ P=90. Find P when r is 2 and m is 5.

Answer provided by our tutors

P varies jointly as r and m^2 means:


P = C*r*m^2, where C is constant


When r=5 and m=3ˏ P=90 means


90 = C*5*3^2


by solving we find:


C = 2

P = 2*r*m^2


when r = 2 and m = 5 for P we find:


P = 2*2*5^2


P = 100


when r is 2 and m is 5 for P we find: P is 100.
