Larry is using an online calculator to calculate the outputs f(n) for different inputs n. The ordered pairs below show Larry's i

nputs and the corresponding outputs displayed by the calculator:
(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 13), (4, 17)

Which of the following functions best represents the rule that the calculator uses to display the outputs?

a
f(n) = 5n − 1

b
f(n) = 5n + 1

c
f(n) = 4n + 1

d
f(n) = 4n − 1

Answer:

Option c:

f(n)=4n+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The functional relationship between two variables can be easily found if it's represented as a line.

Larry's online calculator collects these points

(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 13), (4, 17)

We can see there is a linear relation because every time the first component increases by 1, the second increases by 4.

The equation of a line is given by

f(n)=m.n+b

Where m is the slope of the line and can be computed as

\displaystyle m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}

Where (a,b), (c,d) are two known points of the line. Let's use the first two points (1, 5), (2, 9)

\displaystyle m=\frac{9-5}{2-1}=4

We now know that

f(n)=4n+b

To compute the value of b, we use one of the points again, for example (1,5):

5=4(1)+b => b=1

The relation is

f(n)=4n+1

We can test our results by using other points like (3,13)

f(3)=4(3)+1=13

And also

f(4)=4(4)+1=17

All points belong to the same function or rule

f(n)=4n+1

\sf \left(\dfrac{1}{7}\right)^3\ is\ basically\ like\ saying\ you're\ multiplying\ \dfrac{1}{7}\ by\ \dfrac{1}{7},\ three\ times.

\implies\ \sf \dfrac{1}{7}\ \times\ \dfrac{1}{7}\ \times\ \dfrac{1}{7}\\\\\\\implies\ \dfrac{1}{343}

Therefore, (1/7)³ = 1/343, implying that the answer is option (D).

Hope it helps. :)
