Q. Which equation describes this relationship? Remember to include kk, the constant of variation.\newlinezz varies directly with ww and inversely with xx and yy\newlineChoices:\newline(A)z=kwyxz = \frac{kwy}{x}\newline(B)z=kwxyz = \frac{k}{wxy}\newline(C)z=kwxyz = \frac{kw}{xy}\newline(D)z=kywxz = \frac{ky}{wx}
  1. Identify Direct Variation: zz varies directly with ww and inversely with xx and yy, so the equation should have ww in the numerator and xx and yy in the denominator.
  2. Determine Correct Equation Form: The correct form for the equation of variation is z=k(w)xyz = \frac{k(w)}{xy}, because zz is directly proportional to ww and inversely proportional to both xx and yy.
  3. Match with Choices: Looking at the choices, (C)z=kwxy(C)z = \frac{k w}{x y} matches the form we derived.
