We see that the differences are -9, -3, +3, and +9. Thus, we see that the function is symmetric about x=2 (I'm assuming the five values correspond to x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and increases at a rate similar to (x-2) squared. With that in mind, we classify this function as a parabola, as the standard form of a parabola (y=a(x-h)^2 + k) shows similar growth to this function.
I believe the answer would be 6/25 simplified. 12/50 would be the original answer
The common ratio is -5, note that each value is the previous value multiplied by -5.
Answer:
+ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant term in the polynomial is the only term with no variable attached to it.
In this case that is + 7 ← constant term
