Variable y varies directly with variable x, and y = 18 when x = 4. What is the constant of variation in decimal form?

1 answer:

5 0

To find the constant of variation, you must use the following equation:

y = kx

'k' is the constant of variation.

y = 18
x = 4
k = ?

18 = k(4)
18/4 = k
k = 4.5

Answer: The constant of variation is 4.5

An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between Earth and the sun. One AU is equal to approximately 150,000,000 km. As

Dimas [21]

Using scientific notation, it is found that the measure of one astronomical unit in kilometers is $1.5 \times 10^8$

A number in scientific notation is given by:

$a \times 10^b$

In which $a \in [1, 10)$

To realize the conversion from decimal to scientific notation, b is the number of decimal places the comma moves, being positive if to the left, negative if to the right.

In this problem, 1 AU = 150,000,000 km.
