Describe in words the variation shown by the given equation. z=kxy2z = \(\frac{k\sqrt{x}\)}{y^2}

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the variables and constants in the equation \(z = \frac{k \sqrt{x}}{y^2}\), where \(z\) is the dependent variable, \(x\) and \(y\) are independent variables, and \(k\) is a constant.
Recognize that \(z\) varies directly with the square root of \(x\), meaning as \(x\) increases, \(z\) increases proportionally to \(\sqrt{x}\).
Observe that \(z\) varies inversely with the square of \(y\), meaning as \(y\) increases, \(z\) decreases proportionally to \(\frac{1}{y^2}\).
Combine these observations to describe the overall variation: \(z\) increases with \(\sqrt{x}\) and decreases with \(y^2\).
Express the variation in words: \(z\) varies directly as the square root of \(x\) and inversely as the square of \(y\).

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Direct Variation

Direct variation describes a relationship where one variable increases or decreases proportionally with another. In the equation z = k√x / y², z varies directly with the square root of x, meaning as x increases, z increases proportionally to √x, assuming other variables remain constant.

Inverse Variation

Inverse variation occurs when one variable increases as another decreases, typically expressed as a variable divided by another. Here, z varies inversely with y squared, indicating that as y increases, z decreases proportionally to 1/y², assuming other variables are constant.

Square Root and Exponent Rules

Understanding square roots and exponents is essential to interpret the equation. The square root of x (√x) is equivalent to x raised to the 1/2 power, and y squared (y²) means y multiplied by itself. These operations affect how changes in x and y influence z.
