Y varies jointly as x and z. If y = 12 when x = 4 and z = 3, find y when x = 9 and z = 8.

y = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies jointly as x and z then the equation relating them is

y = kxz ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 12 when x = 4 and z = 3

12 = k × 4 × 3 = 12k ( divide both sides by 12 )

1 = k

y = xz ← equation of variation

When x = 9 and z = 8 , then

y = 9 × 8 = 72

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
