Algebra.Com's Answer #14076 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Directly related means Cost=k(radius^2) \n" ); document.write( "To find \"k\" let cost be 6 and r be 7 \n" ); document.write( "Then 6=k(7^2) \n" ); document.write( "So, k=6/49 \n" ); document.write( "The relating equation is therefore y=(6/49)r^2 \n" ); document.write( "So, if the radius is 9-inches the cost will be \n" ); document.write( "C=(6/49)9^2 \n" ); document.write( "Cost=$9.92\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
