Question

Compare the functions represented by the ordered pairs:

Answer 1

We are given

Set A: {(5,1), (4,4), (3,9), (2,16), (1,25)}

We can see that for each x value of the set is increasing exponentially.

We can set up a rule for it y = (6-x)^2

y=(6-5)^2 = (1)^2 = 1

y=(6-4)^2 = (2)^2 = 4

y=(6-3) = (3)^2 = 9

y=(6-2)^2 = (4)^2 = 16

y=(6-1)^2 = (5)^2 = 25.

For set B:

Set B: {(1,-5), (2,-3), (3,-1), (4,1), (5,3)}

It's simply linear function as diffrences of y values are constant that is 2.

We can set a rule for it : y = 2x - 7.

y = 2(1) -7 = 2-7 = -5

y = 2(2) -7 = 4-7 = -3

y = 2(3) -7 = 6-7 = 1

y = 2(4) -7 = 8-7 = 1

y = 2(5) -7 = 10-7 = 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

Set A is a quadratic function : $y=x^2-12x+36$

Set B is a linear function: $y=2x-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here  set A : {(1,25), (2,16), (3,9), (4, 4) , (5, 1)}

This is a quadratic function

Let

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

For (1,25) we get $25=a+b+c$     ....(1)

For (2,16) we get $16=4a+2b+c$   ....(2)

For (3,9) we get $9=9a+3b+c$     ....(3)

Subtracting (1) from (2) we get

$-9=3a+b$   .....(4)

Subtracting (2) from (3) we get

$-7=5a+b$    ....(5)

Subtracting (4) from (5)

$2a=2$

a=1

Substituting a= 1 in (4), we get

$-9=3(1) + b$

$b=-12$

Substituting a = 1 & b = -12 in (1) we get

$c=25-1+12= 36$

The function is

$y=x^2-12x+36$

Set B: {(1,-5), (2,-3), (3,-1), (4,1),(5,3)}

This is a linear function

Slope = $\frac{-3+5}{2-1}=2$

The equation is

$y=2x+c$

For (1,-5) we get

$-5=2+c$

$c=-7$

The equation is

$y=2x-7$
