If y varies directly as (\sqrt{n}) and y = 4 when n = 4, find y when n = 1(\frac{7}{9})

A
\(\sqrt{17}\)
B
\(\frac{4}{3}\)
C
\(\frac{8}{3}\)
D
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: C

y (\alpha \sqrt{n})

y = k(\sqrt{n})

when y = 4, n = 4

4 = k(\sqrt{4})

4 = 2k

k = 2

Therefore,

y = 2(\sqrt{n})

y = 2(\sqrt{\frac{16}{9}})

y = 2((\frac{4}{3}))

y = (\frac{8}{3})
