y varies directly as the square of x. This means that the ratio of y to x^2 is a constant. Let us call it k. Mathematically,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y+%2F+x%5E2%29+=+k+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 80 when x = 20. Substituting for y and x in the above equation,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+80+%2F+20%5E2+=+k+\" or\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+k+=+80+%2F+400+=+0.2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So when x = 90, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+%2F+90%5E2+=+k+=+0.2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, \"+y+=+90%5E2+%2A+0.2+=+8100+%2A+0.2+\" or \"+y+=+1620+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
