Explanation:
"the initial statement can be expressed as"the initial statement can be expressed as
Tpropd^2root(3)(x)T∝d23√x
"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant
"of variation"of variation
rArrT=kd^2root(3)(x)⇒T=kd23√x
"to find k use the given condition"to find k use the given condition
T=18" when "x=8" and "d=3T=18 when x=8 and d=3
T=kd^2root(3)(x)rArrk=T/(d^2root(3)(x))=18/(9xx2)=1T=kd23√x⇒k=Td23√x=189×2=1
"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(T=d^2root(3)(x))color(white)(2/2)|)))
