Question

Write a function describing the relationship of the given variables.

Answer 1

Answer:

The function describing the relationship of V and t is V = 3t²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the meaning of direct variation

- The direct variation is a mathematical relationship between two

  variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one

  variable is equal to a constant times the other

- If Y is in direct variation with x (y ∝ x), then y = kx, where k is the

 constant of variation

* Now lets solve the problem

# V is varies directly with the square  of t

- Change the statement above to a mathematical relation

∴ V ∝ t²

- Chang the relation to a function by using a constant k

∴ V = kt²

- To find the value of the constant of variation k substitute V and t

 by the given values

∵ t = 6 when V = 108

∵ V = kt²

∴ 108 = k(6)² ⇒ simplify the power 2

∴ 108 = 36k ⇒ divide both sides by 36 to find the value of k

∴ 3 = k

- The value of the constant of variation is 3

∴ The function describing the relationship of V and t is V = 3t²
