Z varies directly as x². If z=8 when x=2, find z when x=7

98

Step-by-step explaination:

For this question, it is a direct variation. Hence, the equation would be formed accordingly, and the constant k would also be used.

z varies directly as x²

z= kx² where k is the constant

z = 8

x = 2

Putting the figures in the equation, we have

8=2²(k)

8= 4k

Dividing both sides by 4, we have

k = 8/4

k = 2

Solving for z now, we substitute k with 2. And x with 7

z=kx²

z = 2(7²)

z= 2(49)

z= 98

If it were indirect variation, the constant would have been 1/k. We also have other types of variation, Indirect variation, partial variation and joint variation.

the answer is 28

i leave the calculator work to you.

7. diameter 4 miles, circumference 4π miles

8. radius 0.2 miles, circumference 0.4π miles

[this is a bad problem because the actual radius of a car on the track is less than 0.2 miles so the answer is less than 0.4π miles]

9. radius 6 feet, circumference 12π feet

10. diameter 14 cm, circumference 14π cm

11. diameter 4.8 feet, circumference 4.8π feet
