Answer
Step-by-step solution
5 stepsWrite the variation equation.
The problem states that varies directly as the product of and , and inversely as their sum. This can be written as:
where is the constant of proportionality.
Find the constant of proportionality, .
We are given that when and . Substitute these values into the equation:
To solve for , multiply both sides by :
Write the complete variation equation.
Now that we have the value of , the equation becomes:
Calculate the value of using the new values.
We need to find when and . Substitute these values into the complete equation:
Simplify the expression for .
