@triciaal Variable y varies directly with x2, and y = 48 when x = 4. Which graph represents the quadratic variation? A. http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1540000_1540500/1540310/1/e704306724d0e3058f5f975d02ad64262eb5d886/MS_ALG_S2_01_12_quiz_Q5a_question.gif B. http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1540000_1540500/1540311/1/d3c9c95d917ce7280f5dbce58d52cc1b289e4903/MS_ALG_S2_01_12_quiz_Q5b_question.gif C. http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1540000_1540500/1540312/1/520c64d5cf628a3b4b22b816792234a7675902b7/MS_ALG_S2_01_12_quiz_Q5c_question.gif D.
I think its C?
@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*
8?
48 = k * 16 What is 48 divided by 16 =
3
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.
Umm no...
Look at point (-3.12) on the graph of option C. Is (-3) * (-3) * 3 = 12 ? Agree or disagree?
No (-3)*(-3)*3 = 27
@*louisa* Answer and let's get a wrap on this problem, okay?
So it is C?
You are correct in that calculation. I am not correct in the question I asked. I'll ask the right question this time.
Ok thx
(-2,12) is a point on the graph of option C So, here is the question: (-2) * (-2) * (3) = 12 Agree or Disagree.
Agree
Yes, so Option C is my choice for the answer. I agree with you on that.
Ok thx(:
You are welcome.
