Find the value of x
a: 2
b: 4
c: 6
d: 8

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 + (x-2)^2 = (√20)^2

Simplify the right side:

x^2 + (x-2)^2 = 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 + (x-2)^2 - 20 = 0

Factor:

(x-4)(x+2) = 0

Solve for each x:

x = 4 and x = -2

The side cant be a negative value, so the answer would be x = 4

The answer is B.

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
