Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a varies directly as b then the equation relating them is

a = kb ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition a = 8 when b = 2

k = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{8}{2} = 4

Answer:

K = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that varies a directly as b then the equation relating them is

Simply implies that a is directly proportional to b, that is increase in a will cause increase in, and decrease in a will cause decrease in b, and vice versa, where k remains constant.

a α b

a = kb, where k is constant

To find k use the condition a = 8 when b = 2, we make k the subject of the formular

K = a/b

K = 8/2

K = 4

17)
x² + 8 = -8
x² = -8 - 8
x² = 16
x = ±√-16
x = ±√16i
x = <span>±4i
</span>
18)
x² + 5 = -3
x² = -3 - 5
x² = -8
x = ±√-8
x = ±√8i
x = ±2√2i

19)
x² + 3 = 0
x² = -3
x = ±√-3
x = <span>±</span>√3i

hope this helps, God bless!
