we are given the equation 9y = 4x2 and is asked in teh problem the constant of variation for the quadratic equation. In this case, the standard form is y = kx2 where k is the constant of variation. Hence we divide the equation by 9 such that k is equal to 4/9

Answer:

option B is correct

The constant of variation is, [tex]k=\frac{4}{9}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the quadratic variation is the relationship between the variables x and y

i.e, [tex]y=kx^2[/tex]; where k is the quadratic variation.

Given quadratic equation: [tex]9y=4x^2[/tex]    ...[1]

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation

Divide both side by 9,we get

[tex]\frac{9y}{9}= \frac{4}{9}x^2[/tex]

On simplifying we get;

[tex]y= \frac{4}{9}x^2[/tex]

Now, compare above equation by equation[1] we get the value of k;

i.e, [tex]k=\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

Therefore, the constant of variation is, [tex]k=\frac{4}{9}[/tex].
