Answer

y varies directly as the nth power of x can be modeled by the equation $y\ =\ k{{x}^{n}}$

Work Step by Step

The variable y varies directly as the nth power of x, means $y\ \propto \ {{x}^{n}}$ , which implies that when the variable x increases, y also increases or when x decreases, y also decreases. Using the constant of proportionality k , we have $y\ =\ k{{x}^{n}}$ Hence, the variable y varies directly as the nth power of x can be written as $y\ =\ k{{x}^{n}}$.
