Answer:

y = 96

Explanation:

given that y is directly proportional to x² then the equation relating them is

y = kx² ← k is the constant of proportion

to find k use the condition when y = 24 , x = 2 , then

24 = k × 2² = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

6 = k

y = 6x² ← equation of proportion

when x = 4 , then

y = 6 × 4² = 6 × 16 = 96
