The Quadratic Constant of Variation signifies the constant 'k' present in both direct and inverse variation quadratic equations. This 'k' is identified by manipulating the equation in a way that isolates 'k'. For direct variation, the formula becomes k=y/x², and for inverse variation, the formula shifts to k=xy². By inserting the provided values for x and y, one can determine the value of 'k'.
