We see that the differences are -9, -3, +3, and +9. Thus, we see that the function is symmetric about x=2 (I'm assuming the five values correspond to x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and increases at a rate similar to (x-2) squared. With that in mind, we classify this function as a parabola, as the standard form of a parabola (y=a(x-h)^2 + k) shows similar growth to this function.
Answer: £4597.82
Step-by-step explanation:
You paid $4.76 total for 7 notebooks. To figure out how much each individual notebook cost, you divide the total cost by the number of things you bought, so
Cost of One Notebook = Total Cost of Notebooks / Number of Notebooks = $4.76 / 7 = $0.68
This is the unit rate.
To buy three notebooks, you just calculate the total cost of three notebooks at this price point, so
Cost of Three Notebooks = Cost of One Notebook * 3 Notebo0ks = $0.68 * 3 = $2.04
