What is the equation when Y varies directly as z and inversely as x?
Y = K (z/x)
If w varies directly as 2x-1 and w equals 9 when x equals 2 find x when w equals 15?
The phrase "varies directly as" means that there is a number k such that w = k(2x - 1). From the results given for w = 9 when x = 2, 9 = k(4 - 1), or k = 3. Then when w is 15, 15 = 3(2x - 1), or 15 = 6x - 3, or 6x = 15 + 3, or x = 18/6 = 3.

What is the constant of variation k if x .5 and y 1 Assume y varies directly as x?
If y varies directly as x then k = 2.
If y varies directly as x squared find k when x 2 and y 8?
If y varies directly as x and if x = 2 when y = 8 then k = 4.
What is the equation when Y varies directly as z and inversely as x?
Y = K (z/x)
What would be the equation be fore z varies inversely with x and directly with y?
Z = K Y / X 'K' can be any constant number.
What is it when Z varies directly with x and inversely with y When x 2 and y 4 z 3 What is the value of z when x 4 and y 9?
z = 8/3.
X varies directly with y and inversely with z x equals 0.25 y equals 10 and z equals 20 find x when y is 20 and z is 10?

X varies directly with y and inversely with z x equals 0.12 when y equals 12 and z equals 2 Find x when y equals 1200 and z equals 1?
x = 24
X varies directly with y and inversely with z x equals 20 when y equals 8 and z equals 4 Find x when y equals 4 and z equals 8?
The answer is x=10. If: x=20 y=8 z=4 then: y=8/2=4 z=4*2=8 since x varies directly with y, meaning whatever happens to y, happens to x, so if y was divided by 2, then x should be divided by 2. After all, the inverse of division is multiplication.
How do you tell if a math table is inversely proportional or directly proportional?
Generally, if y increases as x increases, this is a hint that the quantity is directly proportional, and if y decreases as x increases, the relation might be inversely proportional. However, this is not always the case. x and y are directly proportional if y = kx, where k is a constant. x and y are inversely proportional if y = k/x, k is constant. This is the best way to tell whether the quantities are directly or inversely proportional.
If w varies directly as 2x-1 and w equals 9 when x equals 2 find x when w equals 15?
The phrase "varies directly as" means that there is a number k such that w = k(2x - 1). From the results given for w = 9 when x = 2, 9 = k(4 - 1), or k = 3. Then when w is 15, 15 = 3(2x - 1), or 15 = 6x - 3, or 6x = 15 + 3, or x = 18/6 = 3.
What is inversely and directly proportional?
Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inversely proportional is X*Y - k where k is some non-zero constant. X and Y are said to be directly proportional if X = c*Y where c is some constant.
If y varies inversely as x and y equals 725 when x equals 20 find x when y is 50?

What is the symbols of inversely proportional and directly proportional?
The greek letter "alpha" (α) for both. If x is directly proportional to y, you could say x α y. For inversely proportional, you would say something like x α 1/y, or x α y^-1, as in, directly proportional to the inverse.
