"a ∝ b" means "a is proportional to b", which in turn means there is some constant k such that
a = kb
We're given that a = 18 and b = 3, so that
18 = 3k ⇒ k = 6
Then when b = 5, we would have
a = 6 × 5 = 30
This is not going to be a hole number, it's about 4.0666
Answer:
I would go with the first one.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one is the only one that increases by the same number. In other words, its slope is constant. A linear function has a constant slope. You can tell that it increases by 1/2 every time.
Square root of 6 times 16 will give us 39.19
The square root of 48 times 32 [which gives us 1536] is also equal to 39.19
The square root of 1536 is equal to 39.19
Hence, x is equal to 32
Hope this helped! :D
