Which of these tables represents a non-linear function?

Answer:

we conclude that the table ''A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 17, 18, 19, 20. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 16, 17, 19, 20'' represents a non-linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nature of whether a function can be linear or non-linear, we must check how the x and y values of the table change. If the first difference between y-values remains the same (constant first difference), then the table will represent a linear function, otherwise not.

Given the x and y entries of the first table:

x            y

17           20

18           19

19           18

20          17

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. 19-20=-1, 18-19=-1, 17-18=-1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          -16

18          -17

19           -18

20          -19

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. -17-(-16)=-1, -18-(-17)=-1, -19-(-18)=-1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          16

18          17

19           19

20          20

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, but the y-values are not changing constantly. The first difference between y-values does not remain the same.

i.e. 17- 16 = 1, 19 - 17 = 2, 20 - 19 = 1

Thus, this table does not represent a linear function. Hence, it is a non-linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          -20

18          -19

19           -18

20          -17

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. -19-(-20)=1, -18-(-19)=1, -17-(-18)=1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Therefore, we conclude that the table ''A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 17, 18, 19, 20. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 16, 17, 19, 20'' represents a non-linear function.

Identify the recursive formula for the sequence -3, 9, -27, 81, ....
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 3

this indicates the sequence is geometric.

the recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio r , that is

f(n) = - 3f(n - 1) if n > 1 : f(1) = - 3

Help please, Which expression does not belong? Explain your reasoning.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

My best answer is option number 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the first 3 answers follow a specific pattern in addition and division, i.e. they only go up to 4 different numbers, whereas with the 4th option, that changes. Not only that, but if you look closely, the 4th option adds 6 to itself 5 times, that's the same as 6x5, which equals 30, so if you divide 30 by 5, its almost pointless seeing as how you already know it's gonna get you 6.
