If m varies directly as the square root of y, inversely as p2, and directly as n, what happens to m when y is quadrupled, p is tripled, and n is multiplied by 5?
A. m is divided by 10/9 B. m is multiplied by 9/10 C. It stays the same D. m is multiplied by 10/9

now... let's see 

"m varies directly as the square root of y, inversely as p², and directly as n"
[tex]\bf m=\cfrac{k\sqrt{y}\cdot n}{p^2}[/tex]

now, let's quadruple "y", multiply "n" by 5 and "p" by 3

[tex]\bf m=\cfrac{k\sqrt{y}\cdot n}{p^2}\qquad \begin{cases} y=4y\\ p=3p\\ n=5n \end{cases}\implies m=\cfrac{k\sqrt{4y}\cdot 5n}{(3p)^2} \\\\\\ m=\cfrac{k\sqrt{2^2y}\cdot 5n}{(3^2p^2)}\implies m=\cfrac{k2\sqrt{y}\cdot 5n}{(9p^2)}\implies m=\cfrac{k\sqrt{y}\cdot n}{p^2}\cdot \cfrac{2\cdot 5}{9} \\\\\\ m=\cfrac{k\sqrt{y}\cdot n}{p^2}\cdot \cfrac{10}{9}\implies \cfrac{9}{10}\cdot m=\cfrac{k\sqrt{y}\cdot n}{p^2}[/tex]
