Your insight that the function values differ by 5 every time is very important. So your f(x) will contain 5x as a term. You have to find a constant to add or subtract to make sure f(1)=-2.
f(x) = 5x-7 does the job.
Answer:
30 inches squared
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the area of the entire frame using length times height. 9*6 is 54 inches squared. Then, find the area of the middle space the same way. 6*4 is 24 inches squared. Lastly, subtract the middle from the entire frame's area. 54-24 is 30 inches squared.
