(Bowls, Height) (1, 2) (5,5)
Slope is (5-2)/(5-1) = 3/4 inch
y = (3/4)x + b
(2) = (3/4)(1) + b
(2)-(3/4) = b
B=1.25. Y= 0.75*x + 1.25.
Part B
X is the number of bowls in the stack and Y is the corresponding height of the stack.
The answer to this is
3(x+1)(x+8)

f(n) is the nth term
Each term f(n) is found by adding the terms just prior to the nth term. Those two terms added are f(n-1) and f(n-2)
The term just before nth term is f(n-1)
The term just before the (n-1)st term is f(n-2)
----------------
For example, let's say n = 3 indicating the 3rd term
n-1 = 3-1 = 2
n-2 = 3-2 = 1
So f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2) turns into f(3) = f(2) + f(1). We find the third term by adding the two terms just before it.
f3) = third term
f(2) = second term
f(1) = first term
