Joint Variation

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A quantity varies jointly with two others when it varies directly with their product: z = kxy.

Show

If z = 36 when x = 3 and y = 2, then k = 36/6 = 6, and at x = 1, y = 5 the value is z = 30.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
