@triciaal Variable y varies directly with x2, and y = 48 when x = 4. Which graph represents the quadratic variation?

I think its C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix ?

Directrix (directrix):

y varies directly with x^2 y= k * x^2 , where k is the constant of variation y=48 when; x=4 48 = k * (4)^2 Solve for k @*louisa*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8?

Directrix (directrix):

48 = k * 16 What is 48 divided by 16 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

Directrix (directrix):

So, the equation of the parabola is y = 3* x^2 You asked about option C. So, let's look at it. Are the points on the graph shown - do they have y values three times the square of the x values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm no...

Directrix (directrix):

Look at point (-3.12) on the graph of option C. Is (-3) * (-3) * 3 = 12 ? Agree or disagree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No (-3)*(-3)*3 = 27

Directrix (directrix):

@*louisa* Answer and let's get a wrap on this problem, okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is C?

Directrix (directrix):

You are correct in that calculation. I am not correct in the question I asked. I'll ask the right question this time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thx

Directrix (directrix):

(-2,12) is a point on the graph of option C So, here is the question: (-2) * (-2) * (3) = 12 Agree or Disagree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Agree

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, so Option C is my choice for the answer. I agree with you on that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thx(:
