c

d
5520

c. 3680

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010, the population was 8000.

In 2014, it increased by 15%.

Population in 2014 :

= 8000 + 15/100×8000

= 8000 + 1200

= 9200.

Now, 2/5 of the population was age 12 or under.

= 2/5 × 9200

= 2×1840

= 3680

Answer - c) 3680

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
