A) $s = k t ^ { 5 }$
B) $s = \frac { k } { t ^ { 5 } }$
C) $s = \frac { k } { t }$
D) $s = k t$
E) $s = 5 k t$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The word "directly proportional" means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. The phrase "ffth power of t" means that t is being raised to the 5th power. Therefore, the equation should be in the form s = k times t to the power of 5. Only choice A matches this form.
