Given: y is directly proportional to x^n. Find the value of n

(a)
Y = Area.
√Y = X
y = X²
→ n = 2

(b)
Y = π r²
Y = πX²
→ n = 2

(c)
Y = 4/3π r^3
Y = 4/3π X^3
→ n = 3

(d)
Y = L * B
Y = L * X
→ n = 1

(e)
X = π r²
X = π Y²
X/π = Y²
(1/π)X = Y²
√[ (1/π)X ] = Y
[ (1/π^½)(X^½) ] = Y
(π^-½)(X^½) = Y
→ n = ½

(f)
Y = L (cm)
X = 10L (mm)
X/10 = L (mm)
Y = X/10
Y = (1/10)X
→ n = 1

(g)
Speed (S) = Distance (D) / Time (T)
Y = S
Y = D/T
Y = D/X
Y = D(X^-1)
→ n = -1

When it says that y is directly proportional to x^n it means that y equals a constant multiplied by x^n. All your questions are just common area/length/volume formulae except that they use, for example, the letter x instead of the letter r for radius etc.

So for part a. the area of a square is just A = S^2 where A is the area and S is the length of the side. Then, replacing A with y and S with x, you get y = x^2. Note that the constant multiplied by x^n is just 1.

hi buddies is how plenty kundli matching is real?i individually elect an excellent answer because of the fact i'm slightly puzzled!My sister and her boyfriend kumdli does experience because of the fact the boy is mangli and that i individually do no longer understand what mangli skill!yet they love one yet another actually for one and a a million/2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days.And the priest pronounced that they gained't be waiting to get married as for a short era they are going to be happy yet her boy chum could have yet another existence with somebody else!My good judgment says that kumdli matching isn't real yet slightly puzzled!Please help... thank you...
