Answer:
f(x) is linear
g(x) is exponential
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function will always have the same rate of change between equally distant points, while an exponential function will have an increasingly large rate of change between equally distant points.
First, look at f(x). All these points are equally distant at 2 units apart on the x-axis, so they can be directly compared:
All of these points are the same distance apart on the y, so f(x) must be a linear function.
Now look at g(x). These are also all equally distant at only 1 unit apart.
These are very clearly not the same distance apart on the y, so g(x) must be the exponential function.
A- dot 1 . that’s the answer but it’s making me type 20 words.
To solve this you must use the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First we have parentheses.
-4(3 - 1) + 2
3 - 1 = 2
-4(2) + 2
We have no exponents so go on to multiplication
-4(2) + 2
-4 * 2 = -8
-8 + 2
No division so go to addition
-8 + 2
When adding a positive number with a negative number you will act as if you are subtracting the two numbers, then take the sign of the largest number (disregarding the signs). In this case the largest number is 8 and its sign is negative. Your answer will have a negative sign.
-6
