The quantity y is partly constant varies as the square x.write down the relationship between X and y.when X=1,y=11 and when X=2,y=5.find the value of y when X=4
Did you mean:
The quantity y is partly constant AND varies as the square x>
I will assume you did.
so y = a x^2 + c
when x=1, y=11 ---> 11 = a + c
when x=2, y=5 ---> 5 = 4a + c
subtract those two equations:
-6 = 3a
a = -2, then c = 13
y = -2x^2 + 13
plug in x = 4
