y varies directly as w2. When y = 8, w = 2. Find y when w = 3

A.

18

B.

12

C.

9

D.

6

Correct Answer: 18

Explanation

y ∝ w2 y = kw2 8 = k(2)2 8 = k(4) k = 8/4 k = 2 Thus y = 2w2 When w = 3, y = 2(3)2 y = 2 x 9 = 18

y ∝ w2 y = kw2 8 = k(2)2 8 = k(4) k = 8/4 k = 2 Thus y = 2w2 When w = 3, y = 2(3)2 y = 2 x 9 = 18
