Sagot :
A is directly proportional to the square of b, and a = 8 when b =
2
a. What is the constant of variation? 4
b. What is the equation of variation? A=KB
C. If b = 5, what is the value of a? 20
d if a =18 what is the value of b? 4.5
First step: write the equation of variation
A=KB
Second step:Find the value of the constant variation K.
A=KB
8=K(2)
8/2=K2/2
4=K
K=4
Third step:Write the equation.
A=4(B)
Fourth step: solve for the unknown.
A=4*5
A=20
