The image of U will be (2,-1)
The first differences are 8, 14, 20.
The second differences are 6.
Half of 6 is 3, so the first term of the sequence is 3n^2.
If you subtract 3n^2 from the sequence you get 0,-1,-2,-3 which has the nth term of -n + 1.
Therefore your final answer will be 3n^2 - n + 1
A) f(x) is decreasing because the base is less than 1.
0.56 is close to 0.5, so its like saying that you are taking half each time, therefore the value is getting smaller.
g(x) is increasing because the base is greater than 1.
you are multiplying by 4 each time, making the value bigger.
B ) The y-intercept is where x=0.
Anything to the '0' power is 1. Therefore the y-intercept is equal to the coefficient in front of each function.
f(x) = 3 , g(x) = 6
C) Just plug in x=4 to each function in a calculator.
f(4) = 0.295
g(4) = 1536
