A/c = 8.....a = 8c
a * c = 2 ...a = 2/c
a/b = -16 ...a = -16b
a * b = -1....
b/c = -0.5

2/c = 8c
2 = 8c^2
1/4 = c^2
sqrt 1/4 = c
0.5 (or 1/2) = c <===

a * c = 2
0.5a = 2
a = 2/0.5
a = 4 <===

a = -16b
4 = -16b
4/-16 = b
-1/4 (or - 0.25) = b <===

If y is directly proportional to x square and y equal 1/8 when x = 1/2 what is the positive value of x when y it was 9/2?

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y is directly proportional to x² then the equation relating them is

y = kx² ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition y = $\frac{1}{8}$ when x = $\frac{1}{2}$ , then
