For the statement, find the constant of variation and the variation equation.
y varies directly as the cube of x; y = 36 when x = 6

Answer :

The constant of variation is 1/6 and variation equation is y=(1/6)*[tex]x^{3}[/tex] .

This is a question of direct variation .

⇒ y is directly proportional to x .

Since y varies directly as the cube of x .

Let k be the constant of variation .

y = k[tex]x^{3}[/tex]                       eq1

Substituting values of y and x in the above quadratic equation

36 = k[tex]6^{3}[/tex]                              

k = 36/216

k= 1/6

Hence , constant of variation = 1/6 .

Variation Equation is made by substituting value of Constant of Variation in above equation .

Variation equation is

y=(1/6)*[tex]x^{3}[/tex]

Therefore , constant of variation = 1/6 and variation equation is

y=(1/6)*[tex]x^{3}[/tex] .
