A family of functions is defined by hk(x)=4x2+kx2h_k(x)=\dfrac{4x^{2}+k}{x^{2}} for real numbers kk. For one particular value of kk, the table gives values of hk(x)h_k(x).
x102050
h_k(x)4.064.0154.002
Based on the data, which value of kk is most consistent with the table? a) k=5k=5 b) k=6k=6 c) k=3k=3 d) k=0k=0
