Question 2 2. The population of Bloomington is 2.4 x 106
while the population of Smallville is 12,000. How
many times greater is the population of
Bloomington than Smallville? Record your
answer in standard notation.
24x1046 = 240.000-12000=223,000

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
