Tom wants to invest $500. He invests in a company that predicts his investment will double in value every 3 years. This situation can be modeled by the function f(x) = 500 -23 where x represents the number of years Tom leaves his money with the company. Which graph models this situation?

Graph A bc it's the only graph that shows that every 3 years his investment doubles.

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
