I assume you mean associative property. As defined by mathwarehouse, The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. By 'grouped' we mean 'how you use parenthesis'. In other words, if you are adding or multiplying it does not matter where you put the parenthesis. Add some parenthesis any where you like!

Y varies directly as x squared. y is 18 when x is 3. Find y if x is 4. Any help? thanks

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∝ x^2

Introducing the proportionality constant, we have

y = kx^2

Given : y= 18 when x = 3

substitute the given values in order to get the constant

i.e 18 = k x 3^2

18 = 9k

k = 2

therefore the formula connecting x and y

⇒ y = 2x^2

To find y if x is 4, just substitute x = 4 into the formula connecting x and y

i.e y = 2 x 4^2

= 2 x 16

= 32
