Answer:
Option (4) and Option (5)
Step-by-step explanation:
By calculating the second difference, if the second difference in a table is equal, table will represent the quadratic relationship.
In the given option, we analyze that table given in Option (4) will represent the quadratic relationship.
x y Ist difference IInd difference
0 4 - -
1 -4 -4 - (4) = -8 -
2 -4 -4 - (-4) = 0 0 - (-8) = 8
3 4 4 - (-4) = 8 8 - 0 = 8
Second difference of the terms in y are the same as 8.
Therefore, table of Option (4) represents the quadratic relationship.
Similarly, in Option (5) we will calculate the second difference of y terms.
x y Ist difference IInd difference
0 -4 - -
1 -8 -8 - (-4) = -4 -
2 -10 -10 - (-8) = -2 -2 - (-4) = 2
3 -10 -10 - (-10) = 0 0 - (-2) = 2
Here the second difference is same as 2.
Therefore, table of Option (5) will represent the quadratic relationship.
