<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
In order to find 
, we have to replace the 
in the definition of 
with 
:
=
Answer:
linear
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-values are evenly spaced (1 apart), so it is helpful to look at the differences of the f(x) values.
Successive f(x) values all differ by the constant 0.5, a characteristic of a linear function.

<em>Comment on differences</em>
The differences of successive y-values are called "first differences". The differences of those are called "second differences". And the differences of those are "third differences." The "degree" of the differences that are constant is the degree of the function describing the sequence.
That is, a sequence (like this one) with constant first differences can be described by a first-degree polynomial, a linear function. If third differences are constant, the sequence is described by a third-degree polynomial, a cubic function.
A square root function will have first differences that decrease by a decreasing amount. Successive differences of differences will continue to decrease, never becoming constant.
An exponential function will have first differences with a common ratio.
THE ASWER FOR THIS IS B IM SURE OF IT :)
X = first place....and each place after that is 50 less
so 2nd place would be x - 50 and third place would be x - 100
so ur answers are :
b. x + (x - 50) + (x - 100)
f. 3x - 150 ...u get this when u combine like terms
3/6
because 6 divided by 2 = 3
and
12 divided by 2 = 6
