Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The Y-intercept is -3.
The gradient is -3/4 since it goes down 3 every 4 tiles.
Given
- f(n) values for n=1,2,3,4
- possible candidates for the function
Solution:
Method: Evaluate some of the values, for each function. A function with ANY value not matching the given f(n) values will be rejected.
N=1, f(n)=4
f(1)=4-3(1-1)=4
f(1)=4+3^(1+1)=4+3^2=4+9=13 ≠ 4 [rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^0)=4
f(1)=3(4^(n-1))=3(4^0)=3*1=3 [rejected]
N=2, f(n)=12
f(1)=4-3(2-1)=4-3(1)=1 ≠ 12 [rejected]
[rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(2-1)=4*3^1=4*3=12
[rejected]
Will need to check one more to be sure
N=3, f(n)=3
[rejected]
[rejected]
f(3)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^(3-1))=4(3^2)=4*9=36 [Good]
[rejected]
Solution: f(n)=4(3^(n-1))
Answer:men=152 women=76 children=38
Step-by-step explanation:
- men+women+children=266
- men=4*children
- women=2*childrens
- so let say x represent the numebers of children the equatin becomes: 4x+2x+x=266
- solve for x =38 so the numbers of children is 38
- men=4*38=152
- women=2*38=76
