If x∝y/z^2, y∝ab^2 and z∝b/a then what is the relation between x, a and b? The answer has been given as b^4/a^3. Is that correct?
Thank you! Can you explain how you got that answer?
Certainly! We can start by substituting the given proportionalities into our original equation. So we have x∝(ab^2)/(b/a)^2 which simplifies to x∝a*b^4/b^2a^2. Cancelling out the common terms, we get x∝b^2/a. Multiplying both sides by b^2/a, we get x∝b^4/a^2. Simplifying further, we get x∝b^4/a^3.
