Answer:
A, C, and D
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change will simply be the slope of the line, which we can find by taking the change in y and dividing that by the change in x:
slope =
Thus, the slope is 3/2 = 1.5.
Since the slope remains constant throughout the graph, we know that A is correct. In addition because the points 0, 2, 4, and 6 are on the graph, the rate of change between any of the two points will still be the constant 1.5, making C and D correct as well.
So, we can choose A, C, and D.
Hope this helps!
It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."
... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6
The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.
... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d
... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c
The appropriate choice is b.
