Chapter 3 - Section 3.6 - Variation - 3.6 Exercises - Page 365: 5

Answer

$s=kx^3$, means that $s$ varies directly with the cube of $x$.

Work Step by Step

The general equation of an inverse variation is $y=k(x)$ where $k$ is the constant of variation. $s=k(x^3)$, means that $s$ varies directly with the cube of $x$, with $k$ as a constant of variation. We can say that the strength of a muscle varies directly with the cube of its length.
