Direct Variation Involving Squared Quantities

Secondary 2

\(y\) is directly proportional to the square of \(x\).

  1. Given that \(y=12\) when \(x=0.2\), find the equation for \(y\) in terms of \(x\).
  2. It is known that \(y=p\) for a particular value of \(x\). Describe the change in \(y\) when the
    value of \(x\) is doubled.
