Question 53 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_0800300_Health_1_Life_Management_Skills_2019

W varies jointly with x, y, and z. What happens to W when x, y, and z are each doubled?

Answer
A
W is halved.
B
W is doubled.
C
W is quadrupled.
D
W is multiplied by 8.

Explanation

Joint variation means W = kxyz for some constant k. Doubling each variable gives W' = k(2x)(2y)(2z) = 8kxyz = 8W. Therefore, W is multiplied by 8, which is choice D.
