A varies jointly as r and q^2. When r=2 and q=5, A=150 Find A when r is 3 and q is 3

Answer provided by our tutors

A varies jointly as r and q^2 means:

A = K*(r*q^2), where K is constant

When r=2 and q=5, A=150 or:

150 = K*(2*5^2)

K = 3

The equation for A is:

A = 3*(r*q^2)

For r=3 and q=3 we have:

A = 3*3*3^2

A = 81

When r is 3 and q is 3, A is 81.
