Question

I fan and give medals! Please help!! :)
Find the constant of variation for the quadratic variation.
6y = 9x^2
A.4/9
B.2/3
C.3/2
D.-2

Answer 1

Bring this equation to the form y = cx^2. The c you get is the constant of variation. In other words, get the y alone on the left side. Then look at the coefficient of x^2.

Answer 2

Wait help how do I do that? @ParthKohli

Answer 3

Divide both sides by 6.

Answer 4

ok but then I get y=9x2/6

Answer 5

I meant y=9x^2

Answer 6

The first one is right

Answer 7

divided by 6

Answer 8

But in the equation its supposed to be x^2

Answer 9

Yes. So what is the coefficient of x^2 in 9x^2/6

Answer 10

Aww I'm so confused!!!

Answer 11

do I just plug in the answers?

Answer 12

It's supposed to be x^2 multiplied by some number which we will call c for now.

Answer 13

Ok but whta is that number?

Answer 14

That is what we shall figure out!

Answer 15

ok now how do I do that?

Answer 16

So we get 9x^2/6, right?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

That is the same thing as 9/6 * x^2

Answer 19

So what number is being multiplied to x^2?

Answer 20

so 1.5 times x^2?

Answer 21

Right, and so 1.5 is your constant of variation

Answer 22

Thats my answer?

Answer 23

Yes

Answer 24

so it should be 3/2? C.?

Answer 25

Yes, correct

Answer 26

OMg thank you so much!!!! :)

Answer 27

No problem heh
