Answer

$y=\displaystyle \frac{0.5xw^{2}}{z}$

Work Step by Step

If y varies jointly as $x$ and $w^{2}, $and inversely as $z$ then $ y=\displaystyle \frac{kxw^{2}}{z},\quad$ ... for some constant k. Given $y=150$ when $x=6,w=10,$ and $z=2.$ $150=\displaystyle \frac{k\cdot 6\cdot 10^{2}}{2}$ $150=300k$ $k=0.5$ So, $y=\displaystyle \frac{0.5xw^{2}}{z}$
