The approach is to first find the value of constant of proportionality 'k'.
As y varies directly with x²
So we have
y = k x².
Now when x = 6 , y = 72
Substituting the values we get
72 = k (6)²
72 = 36 k
Dividing by 36 on both sides
2 = k
So (1) becomes
y = 2 x²
Now we need to find y when x = 14
Substituting the values in (2) we get
y = 2 ×(14)²
y = 2 × 196
y = 392
Hence y = 392 when x = 14.
The coordinates of the point can be solve using the fomula:
x = x1 + r( x2 - x1 )
y = y1 + r( y2 - x1)
where r is the ratio that partitions the segment
x = x1 + r( x2 - x1 )
x = 3 + 1/3( 8 - 3 )
x = 3 + 1/3( 5 )
x = 14/3
y = y1 + r( y2 - x1)
y = 2 + 1/3( 15 - 2)
y = 2 + 1/3( 13 )
y = 19/3
so the coordinate is ( 14/3 , 19/3 )
In order to answer this we need the table, however to do this all you would do would be to multiply the p value in the table with the corresponding r value in the table and then multiply this by 5, then order them, smallest to greatest.
