Problema Solution

y varies jointly as j and v^2. When j=4 and v=4, y=128. Find y when j is 7 and v is 6

Answer provided by our tutors

y varies jointly as j and v^2 means:

y = K*(j*v^2), where K is constant

When j=4 and v=4, y=128 or:

128 = K*(4*4^2)

K = 2

The questions for y is:

y = 2j*v^2

For j = 7 and v=6 we find:

y = 2*7*6^2

y = 504
