Question

What is the constant of variation for the quadratic variation? 0.1y = 3x2

Answer 1

The constant of variation for the given quadratic equation is, 30

Explanation:

One of the form of a quadratic equation is written as:

`y = kx^2` ....[1]

where k is the coefficient and for this case the constant of variation.

In order to obtain the answer for the given equation, we write the given equation to the form above.

`0.1y=3x^2` or

`y=((3)/(0.1))x^2` or

`y=30x^2`

Comparing this equation with equation [1], to get the value of k;

k=30.

therefore, the constant of variation is, 30.
