Answer:


A.
y^(2) =
(1)/(16)
x^(3)

Explanation:

The statement "the square of
y varies directly as the cube of
x" can be expressed with the equation:


y^(2) =
kx^(3) ("
k" is the constant of variation)

Now, we can use the given values when
x =
4 and
y =
2 to find the value of

"
k":


(2)^(2) =
k(4)^(3)


4 =
64k

Now, solve for "
k":


k =
(4)/(64)


k =
(1)/(16)

So, the equation for the relationship between
x and
y is:


y^(2) = (
(1)/(16))
x^(3)

Therefore, the correct choice is:


A.
y^(2) =
(1)/(16)x^(3)
