Answer:

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a function that can be used to describe the x th term of the sequence

Mathematically, this can be calculated by looking at the numbers in the sequence

The difference between each successive term

is -1.5 ( 6.5-8, 3.5 -5)

So the formula for then x th term will be;

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

where x refers to the number of the term , for example the 4th term

What are the domain and range of f(x) = 4* – 8?
White raven [17]

Answer:

domain: {x | x is a real number}

range: {y l y> -8}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x² – 8 is a parabola, a U shape.

Since the stretch factor, 4, is positive, it opens up, there it will have a minimum value, the lowest point in the parabola.

y > -8  because the minimum is -8.

Parabolas do not have restricted "x" values. "4" does not restrict x because it is the stretch factor, which determines how wide the parabola is.

Quadratic standard form:

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

"a" represents how wide the graph is. If it's negative it opens down, if it's positive it opens up.

"b", if written, tells you it is not centred on the y-axis. It is not written, so the vertex is on the y-axis.

"c" is the y-intercept. In this case, since b = 0, it is also the minimum value.
