  3. X varies as the cube of Y and inversely as square root of Z, X = 6 when Y = 3 and Z= 25.
    1. Find;
      1. An expression connecting X,Y,Z
      2. X when Y = 7 and Z = 9
      3. Y when X = 8 and Z = 16
    2. If Y is increased by 20% and Z is decreased by 36%, find the percentage increase in X
  4. Make b the subject of the formula;
    K = ab

  14. P varies party as Q and partly as the square root of Q. When Q = 4, P = 22 and when
    Q = 9, P = 42. Find the value of P when Q = 25.
  15. Make C the subject of the formula
    b = √(k-aC)
    hence find the value of C when K= 1, a = 4 and b = 2

  14. P = KQ + m√Q
    22 = K (4) + m(2)……………(1)
    42 = K(g) + n(3)……………(2)
    22= 4K + 2m
    42 = 9K + 3m
    3(22) = 3(4K) + 3(2m)
    2(42) = 2(9K) + 2(3)
    66 = 12k + 6m
    84 = 18K + 6m
    18= 6k = k=3
    22 = 4(3) + 2m
    22-12 = 2m
    20 = 2m
    M = 10
    = 3(25) + 10(5)
    = 75 + 50
    = 125

  16. V = 30, r = 2
    K = Ur2
    = 30 x 22 = 120
    When r = 4
    V = 120/42 = 7.5m/s

  19. R = m + nI
    55 = M + 20n……(i)
    58 = m + 28n…….(ii)
    -3 = -8n
    n = 3/8 = 0.375
    55 = m + 60/8
    m =55 -7.5 => m = 47.5
    R = 47. 5 + 60 X 3/8
    R = 70 ohms
