Answer:
2x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-8
The pattern here is the number times 3 then plus 1
We can check this by plugging it in.
1×3=3
3+1=4
4 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
We can continue to check this with the rest of our sequence.
4×3=12
12+1=13
13 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
13×3=39
39+1=40
40 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
40×3=120
120+1=121
121 is the next number in our sequence so the pattern works.
We can find the next numbed in the sequence by continuing the patter
121×3=363
363+1=364
So the next number in the sequence is 364
It would be choice "D". When you change all these equations into slope-intercept form (Y=mx+b or Y equals the slope times "X" plus the y-intercept), choice "D" is the only one with the same slope which is the the value of "m" in slope-intercept form. In this case, when both equations in choice "D" is changed to slope-intercept form, both equations' slopes become -2. When slopes of two equations are the same, the lines are parallel to each other when graphed.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4 ^ ( x-2)
Let x=3
f(3) = 4 ^ ( 3-2)
= 4 ^ 1
= 4
