A statement describing the relationship between the variables x, y, and z is given. (See Example 3.) z varies directly as the cube of x and inversely as the square of y. (a) Express the statement as an equation of proportionality. (Use k as the constant of proportionality.) (b) If x is doubled and y is tripled, by what factor does z change?

The maximum weight M that can be supported by a beam is jointly proportional to its width w and the square of its height h and inversely proportional to its length L. a Write an equation that expresses this proportionality. b Determine the constant of proportionality if a beam 4 in. wide, 6 in. high, and 12 ft long can support a weight of 4800 lb. c If a 10-ft beam made of the same material is 3 in. wide and 10 in. high, what is the maximum weight it can support?
Electrical resistance The resistance of a wire varies directly as the length of the wire and inversely as the square of its diameter. A 1000-foot length of wire, 0.05 inch in diameter, has a resistance of 200 ohms. What would be the resistance of a 1500-foot length of wire that is 0.08 inch in diameter.
Road Trip The number of hours it takes Jack to drive from Boston to Bangor is inversely proportional to his average driving speed. When he drives at an average speed of 40 miles per hour, it takes him 6 hours for the trip. a. Write the equation that relates the number of hours, h, with the speed, s. b. How long would the trip take if his average speed was 75 miles per hour?
