Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a test/hw, I'll give a hint.

This problem at first can seem a bit difficult with q's and power's everywhere.

But let's take a step backward. A power is when your mutiplying something by itself again and again.

Ex: 3^3=3 times 3 times 3

But what if we had something lke this:

(3^3)2

In this case its now

(3 times 3 times 3)^2, so its "techinicaly" (27)^2. And you would a fairly large number, which I'm to lazy to solve. But that's not the point.

We've seen what a power is deconstructed, and what a power is. Because my explantion probably confused you more than it helped, I'll give an example.

(2^2)^2=(2 times 2)^2=(4^2=16=2^4

However, there is a shorter way to solve it.

(2^2)^2=2^(2 times 2)=2^4

Hope this helps.

answer: two five pound bags one two pound

step-by-step explanation:

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
