Question

varies directly with the square root of . If , then . What is the value of if ?

Answer

If varies directly with the square root of , then for some constant of variation ,

$\small y = K \sqrt{x}$

If , then ; therefore, the equation becomes

$\small \small 48 = K \sqrt{25}$ ,

or

.

Divide by 5 to get , making the equation

$\small \small y = 9.6 \sqrt{x}$ .

If , then $\small \small \small y = 9.6 \sqrt{81} = 9.6 \cdot 9 = 86.4$ .
