The function pictured has the form of y=k(x^2)

Question

(the left and right side are going up on a quadratic fnction and y goes to 6 and x goes to 6
. What is the value of k
?

Answer 1

The value of k can be determined by plugging in the given values of y and x into the equation y = k(x^2).

Since y goes to 6 and x goes to 6, we have:

6 = k(6^2)

Simplifying the equation:

6 = k(36)

Dividing both sides by 36:

6/36 = k

Simplifying further:

1/6 = k

Therefore, the value of k is 1/6.
