Hi.
The first question is a direct variation — specifically y = 1.8x
In the second one (if my calculations are correct), it's not a direction variation.
Hope this helps :)
Calculations:
y = 1.8(3) = 5.4
y does not equal x, 2x, or -2x.
Answer: (B) -625
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given the sequence {-500, -100, -20, -4, -0.8, ... }, we know that that the first term (a) is -500 and the ratio (r) is 
Input those values into the Sum formula:
To find the vertex use -b/2a (for the x value which is also the axis of symmetry)
So 2/-2 = -1 Therefore the axis of symmetry is x=-1 Plug in for the y value:
y= -(-1)^2 -2(-1) + 1 y=-1 + 2 + 1 y=2 Vertex (-1,2)
It's a perfect square because 8 times 8 equals 64.
