The population of Colorado is more than 5 x 106 people, while the population of the United States is more than 3 x 108 people. Which is the best estimate of how many times larger the population of the United States is compared to the population of Colorado? A. About 6 times larger
B. About 17 times larger
C. About 69 times larger
D. About 170 times larger

it's d

Step-by-step explanation:

because there is about x170 more people then 108 in both u.s. and Colorado

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
