Direct Variation: If y = 9, when x = -3, find x when y = -27. a.9 b.27 c.-27 d,-9

a. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

because the orginal number was 9 and the newer one is -27 we can determine that y was multiplied by -3 so you would apply the same rule to -3 or x and you would get a product of 9 because two negatives equals a postive

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
