Answer:
z = 2.25xy
Step-by-step explanation:
Given z varies jointly as x and y then the equation relating them is
z = kxy ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition x = 3, y = 8 and z = 54 , then
54 = k × 3 × 8 = 24k ( divide both sides by 24 )
[tex]\frac{54}{24}[/tex] = k = 2.25
z = 2.25xy ← equation of variation
