Answer:
This is a linear function because there is a common difference of 4
⇒ 2nd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the linear function there is a common difference between each two
consecutive data
- In the exponential function there is a common ratio between each two
consecutive data
- Lats check the data in the data in the table
(x) === 1 ⇒ 2 ⇒ 3
f(x) === 4 ⇒ 8 ⇒ 12
∵ x has consecutive numbers 1 , 2 , 3
∵ 8 - 4 = 4
∵ 12 - 8 = 4
∴ f(x) has a common difference 4
∵ 8 ÷ 4 = 2
∵ 12 ÷ 8 = 1.5
∴ f(x) has no common ratio
∴ The table represents a linear function with common difference 4
This is a linear function because there is a common difference of 4
4.5/3 = x/5
then:
x = 5 * 4.5 / 3 = 15/2 = 7.5

Answer: there are 25 red flowers in Sakura's garden.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Sakura's garden, for every 5 red flowers, there are 10 yellow flowers. This means that if there are 10 red flowers, there would be 20 yellow flowers. if there are 20 red flowers, there would be 40 yellow flowers. Therefore, the ratio of red flowers to yellow flowers in the garden is
5/10 = 10/20 £= 20/40 = 1/2 = 1:2
Total ratio = 2 + 1 = 3
If there are 75 total red and yellow flowers, then the total number of red flowers are in Sakura's garden would be
1/3 × 75 = 25
The common difference if there is one is the constant difference that occurs between any term and the term before it.... in this case:
There is no common difference,
dx=18,20,16,18 the difference or velocity is not constant...
d2x=2, -4,2 the acceleration is not constant...
d3x=-6,6 the thrust is not constant
Now we might be tempted to say that:
d4x=12 and say that that is constant and we COULD make a quartic equation fit all the data points, but without further data points in the sequence there is no mathematical proof that the quartic equation would produce accurate data points outside of the range given...
And solving a system of five equations for five unknowns is tedious for such a problem...a^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=y
