Wind farms are a source of renewable energy found around the world. The power P (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine varies directly as the cube of the wind speed v (in meters per second). If a turbine generates 500kW in a 10m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 12m/s wind?

I do not even understand anything to do with Algebra Two.. So, I am super confused about this question..
