Answer:

f(3) = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

→ f(1) = 2 ⇒ f(2) = f²(2 − 1) + 4

= f²(1) + 4

= 2² + 4

= 8

………………………………………………

→ f(2) = 8 ⇒ f(3) = f²(3 − 1) + 4

= f²(2) + 4

= 8² + 4

= 64 + 4

= 68

Though you did not post the scatter plot, I was able to figure out the scatter plot.

From the scatter plot, the labelled points are (32, 23) and (43, 30).

The equation of a line passiong through the points (32, 23) and (43, 30) is given by:

$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{y-23}{x-32} = \frac{30-23}{43-32} = \frac{7}{11} \\ \\ \Rightarrow y-23= \frac{7}{11} (x-32)= \frac{7}{11} x- \frac{224}{11} \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{7}{11} x- \frac{224}{11}+23=\frac{7}{11} x+ \frac{29}{11}$

Therefore, the equation that represents the linear model is

$y=\frac{7}{11} x+ \frac{29}{11}$
