Answer:
f(x) = 2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently the ordered pairs are ...
(x, f(x)) = (1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 9)
We note that as x increases by 1, the value of f(x) increases by 2. The difference between f(x) and 2x is 3-2·1 = 1, so we have ...
f(x) -2x = 1
f(x) = 2x +1 . . . . . . add 2x
The question we need to ask is what percent of 2 is 40?
40 is 20 times 2 so 20 would be 2,000%
We need to subract 100% from any percent change:
2,000% - 100% = 1,900%
ANSWER: 1,900%
The correct answer should be C
