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
