    C varies directly as the cube of a and inversely as the 4th power of B

    The cube of a means we raise a to the 3rd power:
    a^3

    The 4th power of B means we raise b to the 4th power:
    b^4

    Varies directly means there exists a constant k such that:
    C = ka^3

    Also, varies inversely means we divide by the 4th power of B
    C = ka^3/b^4

    Varies directly as means we multiply by the constant k.
    Varies inversely means we divide k by the term which has inverse variation.
