Answer

a) The required value is $k=16$. b) The resulting equation is $y=16{{x}^{2}}$. c) The required value of $y=400$.

Work Step by Step

a) As provided $y=k{{x}^{2}}$ $x=2\ \text{ and }\ y=64$ Now, put the value of $x$ and $y$ in $y=k{{x}^{2}}$. $\begin{align} & y=k{{x}^{2}} \\ & 64=k{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}} \\ & k=\frac{64}{4} \\ & k=16 \end{align}$ Therefore, the value of k is $16$. b) Consider the provided equation, $y=k{{x}^{2}}$. As, $k=16$ So, $y=16{{x}^{2}}$ Therefore, the resulting equation is $y=16{{x}^{2}}$. c) Putting the value of $x=5$ in $y=16{{x}^{2}}$ , we get, $\begin{align} & y=16{{x}^{2}} \\ & y=16{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}} \\ & y=16\times 25 \\ & y=400 \end{align}$ Therefore, the value of $y=400$ when $x=5$.
