math help... question is inside

@welshfella

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

f(5)=75 so you have to find what is the function

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and then once you find that you just multiply that value by 4 and you get your answer :)

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

does f=15?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

so 15x4=60 but thats not an anwser

OpenStudy (welshfella):

f(x) = kx^2 where k is a constant plug in x = 5 and f(x) = 75 to find k

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

wait sorry I got confused I didn't read the x^2 part hold on thats different

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

ok

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

f(x) = k*x^2 75 = k*(5)^2 75 = k*25 and then use PEMDAS backwards to find k

OpenStudy (welshfella):

to find k divide both sides by 25

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol yes i said to use PEMDAS backwards

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

im so confused lol

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

what are you confused about? if you tell me I can help

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

we just have to fin the value of k first to the place into a new equation :) and then just use 4 into the equation and you get your answer :)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

25k = 75 25k 75 --- = -- 25 25 / what is 75 / 25

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

is it 48?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes^ that is the correct final answer

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

anwser is 48?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

how did you get it?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes :) after you plug in the 4 into the final equation you get 48 the final equation if 3x^4=3(4)^2=48 so you are correct :)

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

i put it a mathway calculator

OpenStudy (welshfella):

lol

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

haha

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol nah you looked it up mathway doesn't answer like that with word in problems

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but is ok we all have done that at some point in life :)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

thats not really the way to learn math!

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

well if he saw the steps then he understood the process, people learn in different ways
