Joint and Combined Variation — Quiz

Question 4 • Mathematics III

When f is equal to 2 and g is equal to 8 , n is equal to 4 If n varies jointly with f and g , what is the constant of variation?

Answer
A
64
B
1 half
C
1 fourth
D
4

Explanation

When n varies jointly with f and g, the relationship is n = kfg, where k is the constant of variation. Substitute n = 4, f = 2, and g = 8: 4 = k(2)(8), so k = 4/16 = 1/4. The constant of variation is 1 fourth, choice C.
