Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When x = 0, y = 17 So,
Now,
When x = 5, y = 4131 So,
b = 3
Therefore,
A) f(-4)-f(-5)=-3- (-11)=-3+11=8
f(-2)-f(-3)=13-5= 8
f(0)-f(-1)=29-21= 8
f(2)-f(1)=45-37=8
f(3)-f(2)=53-45=8
all are 8
b) f(-3)-f(-5)= 5- (-11)= 5+11=16
f(-2)-f(-4)=13-(-3)=13+3=16
f(1)- f(-1)=37-21= 16
f(3)-f(1)=53-37=16
c) f(-2)-f(-5)=13-(-11)=13+11=24
f(-1)-f(-4)=21-(-3)=21+3=24
f(0)-f(-3)=29-5=24
f(1)-f(-2)=37-13=24
f(2)-f(-1)=45-21=24
d) The differences have the same ratio.
cause is a linear function f(x)=ax+b
f(x+3)-f(x)=a(x+3)+b-ax-b=ax+3a-ax=3a
f(x+2)-f(x)=2a
f(x+1)-f(x)=a
so it is the same for every x
It should be 2, not sure though
Answer:
and
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In the diagram
Triangles GRT and GEA are similar by AA Similarity Postulate
Remember that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional
so
we have
substitute
therefore
