Algebra.Com's Answer #693081 by akch2002(12)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! y is directly proportional to x^2 and y=a for a particular value of x. Find an expression for y in terms of a, when this value of x is doubled. \n" ); document.write( " we can write \n" ); document.write( "y =kx^2 where k is proportionality constant. \n" ); document.write( "further \n" ); document.write( "a = kx^2 ---- (1)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have to find when x is doubled. \n" ); document.write( "Let it be y1. \n" ); document.write( "Hence, y1= k(2x)^2 = k*4x^2 ---- (2) \n" ); document.write( "Putting value of k from 1, we get \n" ); document.write( "y1 = (a/x^2)*4x^2 \n" ); document.write( " = 4a will be the value of when at double value. \n" ); document.write( " |
