The forward differences for this data is 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (since 10 - 9 = 1, 11 - 10 = 1, etc). Since we only need one iteration of differences, a linear polynomial will fit the data exactly.
Answer:
B. Both functions are increasing, but function f is increasing faster.
Okay so every part of sugar requires 4 parts of water
so
3434 cups of sugar x 4 (parts of water per 1 part of sugar) = 13736
She will need to use 13, 736 parts of water for 3, 434 parts of sugar
So 1/2 is 5/10 and 2/5 is 4/10 common denonominator is 10 ( i think )
