Answer:
Joint variation says that:
if and
then the equation is in the form of:
, where, k is the constant of variation.
As per the statement:
If x varies jointly as y and z
then by definition we have;
......[1]
Solve for k;
when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9
then
Substitute these in [1] we have;
⇒
Divide both sides by 36 we have;
Simplify:
⇒
to find z when x = 16 and y = 6
Substitute these value we have;
⇒
Multiply both sides by 9 we have;
Divide both sides by 12 we have;
12 = z
or
z = 12
Therefore, the value of z is, 12
