y varies jointly with x squared. If y = 1/4 when x=1, find the equation for y in terms of x Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y varies jointly with x squared.
----
y = k*x^2
----
Solve for "k" using " y = 1/4 when x=1"
---
(1/4) = k*1^2
k = (1/4)
--------------------
Find the equation for y in terms of x
Equation:
y = (1/4)x^2
--------------------
