Given that y is directly proportional to x^2 and that y=2 when x=3 find the value of y when x=6

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:y=4/3

y is directly proportional to x^2 is written as

$y \alpha {x}^{2}$ introducing a constant,

y=kx^2

but from the question, when y=2 , x=3 . putting it in the formula to get the value of k

$2 = {3}^{2} \times k$

2=9k . dividing through by 9 to get the value of k

 $\frac{2}{9} = \frac{9k}{9}$ 

 $k = \frac{2}{9}$ 

putting it in the general expression

 $y = \frac{2}{9} x$ 

the value of y when x=6

 $y = \frac{2}{9} \times 6$ 

 $y = \frac{4}{3}$ 

therefore the value of y when x=6 is

4/3

Slove for fg -9h= 10j to get g by itself

Afina-wow [57]

Simplifying fg + -9n = 10j Solving fg + -9n = 10j Solving for variable 'f'. Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '9n' to each side of the equation. fg + -9n + 9n = 10j + 9n Combine like terms: -9n + 9n = 0 fg + 0 = 10j + 9n fg = 10j + 9n Divide each side by 'g'. f = 10g-1j + 9g-1n Simplifying f = 10g-1j + 9g-1n
