The given equation is,


y=kx^2

To solve for x, first divide both sides of the equation by k.


(y)/(k)=x^2

Solving the above equation, we get


\begin{gathered} x=\pm\sqrt[]{(y)/(k)} \\ x=\sqrt[]{(y)/(k)}\text{ or x=-}\sqrt[]{(y)/(k)} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution of the given equation is,


x=\sqrt[]{(y)/(k)},\text{ x=-}\sqrt[]{(y)/(k)}
