Function with 3 variables (I know how two are related )

In summary, the conversation discusses finding a function with only Z and F, without u, given the equation k*u^3=F and data points for when Z, u, and F vary. Suggestions are given to calculate k and express u as a function of F, as well as using the data points to write an equation relating z and u. The need for multiple data points is also mentioned.

Homework Statement


I know that
k*u^3=F
And I have data of when you change Z , so for example if Z is 3, then u is 5 and F is 3.
And i need to get the function with only Z and F without u, how do I do it?

The Attempt at a Solution


I made a function through excel with Z and F but because U also varies I need to somehow substract it from the function?

Is k a constant? Knowing F and u, you can calculate k. Then could you express u as a function of F?
How big is your data set? You could post it if not too big.

Use the data points to calculate k.

The next step would be to write an equation that relates z and u an substitute to eliminate u in the equation you give. However I think you need more than one data point to write an equation relating z and u.

FAQ: Function with 3 variables (I know how two are related )

How do you define a function with 3 variables?

A function with 3 variables is a mathematical relationship between three quantities, where the value of one variable is dependent on the values of the other two variables. It can be represented as f(x, y, z) = some expression using x, y, and z as variables.

Can you give an example of a real-life scenario that can be modeled using a function with 3 variables?

One example of a real-life scenario that can be modeled using a function with 3 variables is the relationship between temperature, humidity, and air pressure in a weather system. The temperature can be affected by both humidity and air pressure, making it a function of these two variables.

How do you graph a function with 3 variables?

To graph a function with 3 variables, you would need to use a 3-dimensional graph, with the x-axis representing one variable, the y-axis representing the second variable, and the z-axis representing the third variable. The points on the graph would then be plotted based on the values of the three variables at each point.

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables in a function with 3 variables?

In a function with 3 variables, the independent variables are the two variables that are not being solved for, while the dependent variable is the one that is being solved for. In other words, the value of the dependent variable depends on the values of the two independent variables.

How do you solve a function with 3 variables?

To solve a function with 3 variables, you would need to have three equations that relate the three variables together. You can then use algebraic methods such as substitution or elimination to solve for one of the variables. Once you have the value of one variable, you can substitute it into the other equations to solve for the remaining variables.
