You times the number by its self 3 times for ex. you have 4 ^cubed it would be 4*4*4=64
A=xy
If there is 10% increase in x then,
New value of x = x + 10%of x =1.1x
similarly for y
New value of y after increase= 1.1 y
New value of A after increase in x and y = 1 .1x × 1.1 y= 1.21xy
now
increase amount in A= New value of A - old value of A
=1.21xy - xy= 0.21xy
percentage increase in A= (0.21xy÷xy )× 100= 21%
In the first equation, you can tell that the x's are being multiplied by 3 to get to the y's so the blank will be 9. The second table would not be a function since all the x values are not being multiplied by the same number to get the y value. Hope this helps!
