Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
● (a)
Let's determine the difference between the outputs of any two inputs that are one unit apart.
Let m be that difference.
2 and 3 are one unit apart since when you substract 2 from 3 you get 1.
● 3-2 = 1
Let's calculate m.
The output of 2 and 3 are respectively 45 and 53.
● m = 53 - 45
● m= 8

Let's determine the difference between the outputs of any two inputs that are 2 units apart.
Let m' be that difference
3 and 1 are 2 units apart since when you substract 1 from 3 you get 2.
● 3-1 = 2
The outputs of 1 and 3 are respectively 37 and 53.
● m'= 53-37
● m' = 16

Let's determine the difference between the outputs of two inputs that are 3 units apart.
Let m" be that difference
0 and 3 are 3 units apart since when you substract 0 from 3 you get 3.
● 3-0 = 3
Let's calculate m":
The outputs of 0 and 3 are respectively 29 and 53
● m" = 53-29
● m" = 24
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
● m = 8
● m'= 16
● m" = 24
Notice that all these values are multiples of 8.
● 8 = 8×1
● 16 = 8×2
● 24 = 8×3
Notice that each time the difference m is multiplied by the units that are between the inputs.
This is explained by the fact that the function is a linear one.
When the input interval grows the difference between the outputs grows two.
