Question

What is the constant of variation for the quadratic variation?
x 2 3 4 5 6
y 20 45 80 125 180
A.5
B.10
C.15
D.25

Answer 1

Given:
x  =   2     3     4      5     6
y  = 20 ; 45 ; 80; 125;180

The constant variation for the quadratic variation is 5.

y = 5x²
y = 5(2²) = 5(4) = 20
y = 5(3²) = 5(9) = 45
y = 5(4²) = 5(16) = 80
y = 5(5²) = 5(25) = 125
y = 5(6²) = 5(36) = 180
