There isn't a picture of a pattern to go by.
Answer:
-3.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the table, the y value goes down by -4 and then -2, for a total of -6.
We did this over a period of two units (To go from -1 to 1, we add 2).
-6/2 = -3.
-3 is the average rate of change over the interval.
Answer:
f(x) = 2(x -3)² +5 or f(x) = 2x² -12x +23
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a quadratic is easily written in vertex form when the coordinates of the vertex are given. Here, the point one horizontal unit from the vertex is 2 vertical units higher, indicating the vertical scale factor is +2.

<h3>vertex form</h3>
The vertex form equation for a parabola is ...
f(x) = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . . vertex (h, k); vertical scale factor 'a'
<h3>equation</h3>
For vertex (h, k) = (3, 5) and vertical scale factor a=2, the vertex form equation of the parabola is ...
f(x) = 2(x -3)² +5 . . . . . vertex form equation
Expanded to standard form, this is ...
f(x) = 2(x² -6x +9) +5
f(x) = 2x² -12x +23 . . . . . standard form equation
