If y varies directly as the square root of x and y = 3 when x = 16. Calculate y when x = 64

A.

12

B.

6

C.

3

D.

5

Correct Answer: 6

Explanation

y ∝ √x y = K√x K = y/√x = 3/√16 = 3/4 y = 3/4√x = 3/4√64 when x = 64 = 3/4 x 8/1 = 6

y ∝ √x y = K√x K = y/√x = 3/√16 = 3/4 y = 3/4√x = 3/4√64 when x = 64 = 3/4 x 8/1 = 6
