Answer:

Direct variation; k = -3; y = -3x  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx     Divide both sides by x

k = y/x

<em>For x = -6, y = 2</em>:

k = -6/2

k = -3

=====

<em>For x = -9, y = 3</em>:

k = -9/3

k = -3

=====

<em>For x = -15, y = 5: </em>

k = -15/5

k = -3

y = -3x

y and x are always in the same ratio, so y varies directly with x.

as you can see above, we can see that "x" can be a product of whatever "y" happens to be, so we know each variable is just a factor away from the other.

lesantik [10]
The first decimal place has the digit 0


the second decimal place has the digit 7

the third decimal place has the digit ....either 1 or 2.

this depends on the forth one, if it was 5 or higher, the third digit would be 2
since the fourth digit is 3, which is lower than 5, we don't have to change the third digit : it remains a "1"

so the answer is 0.071

Because
\frac{f(x)}{x-3} = 2x^{2} + 10x - 1
therefore
f(x) = (x-3)(2x² + 10x - 1) + k, where k =  constant.

Because f(3) = 4, therefore k =4.
The polynomial is
f(x) = 2x³ + 10x² - x - 6x² - 30x + 3 + 4
      = 2x³ + 4x² - 31x + 7

Answer:  f(x) = 2x³ + 4x² - 31x + 7
