Answer

Step 4: Substituting k back into the equation, we get y=81/3x2z1/3

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Since y varies directly as the square of x and inversely as the cube root of z, we can express this as y=kx2z1/3 where k is a constant.

Step 2 :Step 2: Substitute y = 9, x = 3, z = 8 into the equation to find the constant k. So, 9=k3281/3

Step 3 :Step 3: Solve the equation for k. We find k=9×81/39=81/3

Step 4 :Step 4: Substituting k back into the equation, we get y=81/3x2z1/3
