Question

What's the possible values of y when x = 1296

( be it real or complex number )


`{y}^(2) = √(x)`
​

Answer 1

When two variable quantities have a constant ratio, their relationship is called a direct variation. It is said that one variable varies directly as the other. The formula for direct variation is

y

=

k

x

, where

k

is the constant of variation.

y

=

k

x

Solve the equation for

k

, the constant of variation.

k

=

y

x

Replace

x and ywith the values.k=−42Divide −4by 2.k=−2Use the formula y=kxto substitute −2for k and −6for x.y=(−2)⋅(−6)Multiply −2by −6.y=12
