f(x) = 2x - 1
To obtain a function we require values of x for x = 3, 4, 5 , 6, .....
The output appears to increase in steps of 2
3 → 5
4 → 7
5 → 9
6 → 11
Looking at the consecutive values of y we should see that these are twice the corresponding value of x subtract 1
f(x) = 2x - 1 ← is a possible function
checking the values for x in the input
f(3) =(2 × 3 ) - 1 = 5
f(4) = (2 × 4 ) - 1 = 7
f(6) = (2 × 6 ) - 1 = 11
f(11) = (2 × 11 ) - 1 = 21

Answer:</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
Both ........................
Answer: the number is 20, as the denominator 9 multiplied by 4 is 36. simply multiply the numerator by 4.
