The step function is characteristic of the floor or ceiling functions, which map a real number to an integer. There's clearly a factor of 2, indicated by two units of y for every one unit of x.
The open and filled circles indicate, for example, f(1)=2, f(1.01)=4. That means we're rounding up, so we're using the ceiling function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
<h2>25</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change of number of tree y on x branches of a tree is expressed as shown;
m = Δy/Δx where;
m is the rate of change
Δy is the change in number of leaves between 3 and 4
Δx is change in number of branches between 3 and 4
m = Δy/Δx = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
From table between 3 and 4, y₂ = 100, y₁ = 75, x₂ = 4, x₁ = 3
m = 100-75/4-3
m = 25/1
m = 25
<em>Hence the rate of change between 3 and 4 branches is 25</em>
Write it in y= mx+b form. Subtract 5x from both sides to get 4y = -5x + 100. Divide by 4 so the answer would be y= -5/4x + 25.
