Given M varies directly as h cubed and M = 4 when h = 0.5, find h when M = 500.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1M = kh³
  2. 24 = k(0.5)³
  3. 34 = k(0.125)
  4. 4k = 4 / 0.125
  5. 5k = 32
  6. 6500 = 32h³
  7. 7h³ = 500 / 32
  8. 8h³ = 15.625
  9. 9h = ∛15.625
  10. 10h = 2.5
