I need help setting up the formula for inverse and joint variation.
Inverse: y=k/x
joint: y=kxz
I know how to do "y varies ... as" problems, but I'm wondering about "x varies ... as" problems. I'm not asking to do the work, but for help setting up the equation.
-If x varies inversely as y and y=40 when x=4, find x when y=20.
-Suppose x varies jointly as y and z. If x=50 when y=2 and z=4, find x when y=6 and z=10.
