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

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with each membership for each gym as your starting point, then you add the personal sessions to that number.

Silver Gym: 25 65 105

Fit Factor: 75 105

As you can see, it will take Sarah 5 sessions to have both costs equal

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, - 5) and (-9,3). Express your answer in
Leokris [45]

that's the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

slope =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  \\ =  \frac{3 -  - 5}{ - 9 -  - 3} =  \frac{8}{ - 6} \\  \frac{y - 3}{x -  - 9} =  \frac{8}{ - 6}  \\  - 6(y - 3) = 8(x -  - 9) \\  - 6y  + 18 = 8x + 72 \\  - 6y = 8x + 72 -18 \\  - 6y = 8x + 54 \\  \frac{ - 6y}{ - 6} =  \frac{8x}{ - 6} +  \frac{54}{ - 6} \\ y =  \frac{8x}{ - 6}  - 9

What is the ratio of 14 days to 3 weeks in simplest form? user: express 3x3x3x5x5 using exponents
Liula [17]
The answer to your question is 3 to the 3rd power and 5 to the 2nd power. The reason why that's your answer is because there are three 3s so instead of doing 3*3*3 you can just simply do 3 to the 3rd power and do the same thing to the 5. You can see that there are two fives so you do 5 to the 2nd power. Hope this helps:)
