Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The differences in the terms of f(x) are + 3, + 5, + 7
Since the differences are not constant the relationship is not linear
Note the differences in the differences are + 2, + 2,
The second differences are constant indicating a quadratic relationship
Note the relationship between x and f(x)
x = 1 → 1² = 1 ← require to add 5, that is 1 + 5 = 6 ← value of f(x)
x = 2 → 2² = 4 ← require to add 5, that is 4 + 5 = 9 ← value of f(x)
x = 3 → 3² = 9 ← require to add 5, that is 9 + 5 = 14 ← value of f(x)
x = 4 → 4² = 16 ← require to add 5, that is 16 + 5 = 21 ← value of f(x)
Thus f(x) = x² + 5 → B
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Began by dividing 850 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, and I made a list of the whole numbers.
They were 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, and 850
By inspection, the two smallest numbers which when multiplied together yielded 850 were 25 and 34.
The answer is -2/6
Hope this helps
