If y varies directly with x, and y = 2 when x = −4, what is the value of y when x = 20 ?
2 answers:
Answer:
y = - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 2 when x = - 4, that is
2 = - 4k ( divide both sides by - 4 )
= k, that is
k = -
y = - x ← equation of variation
When x = 20, then
y = - × 20 = - 10

Let's keep in mind that for large values of x, a quadratic function grows faster than a linear function:
for large values of x
In this problem, we can see that the only quadratic function is
, while all the others are linear functions, so the function that grows faster for large values of x is
