Given the table below, determine if the data represents a linear or an exponential function and find a possible formula for the
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Option b is correct.

Linear function ;

y =2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula y=f(x)=mx +c  ......[1]  is said to be a linear function. That means the graph of this function will be a straight line on the (x, y) plane, where m represents slope and b is the y-intercepts.

Consider any points from the table;

(1, 2) and (2, 4)

substitute these point in [1] we get;

for (1, 2)

⇒x = 1 and f(x) = 2 we have

2 = m + c      

or

c = 2- m                       ......[1]

for (2, 4) we have;

4 = 2m + c                       .....[2]

Now, substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

4 = 2m + 2 -m

Combine like terms;

4 = m + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides we get;

4 -2 = m +2 -2

Simplify:

2 = m or

m = 2

Substitute the value of m = 2 in [1] to solve for c;

c = 2 -2 = 0

c =0

⇒ y = 2x +0

y = 2x

therefore, the data in the table represents the Linear function and a possible formula for the linear function is; y = 2x

A cat gave birth to 3 kittens who each had a different mass between 147 and 159\,\text{g}159g159, start text, g, end text. Then,
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

both decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

mean before the 4th kitten = 153

mean after the 4th kitten = 129

<em>hence mean decreases</em>

median before the 4th kitten= 153

median after the 4th kitten= 150

<em>hence median decreases</em>

The area of a rectangular knitted blanket is 10x squared minus 11x minus 6. What are the possible dimensions of the​ blanket? Us
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Dimensions of rectangle are (5x+2)\:and\: (2x-3)\\

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangular knitted blanket = 10x^2-11x-6

We need to find the dimensions of blanket.

If we need to find the dimensions, we need to find the factors of area.

Factoring:  10x^2-11x-6

We will break the middle them -11x

  • Adding 4x-15x we get -11x
  • Multiplying 4x and -15x we get -60x^2 (Product of -6 and 10x^2)

Now, finding factors

10x^2-11x-6\\10x^2+4x-15x-6\\2x(5+2)-3(5x+2)\\(5x+2)(2x-3)\\

So, factors of 10x^2-11x-6\\ are (5x+2)(2x-3)\\

So, dimensions of rectangle are (5x+2)\:and\: (2x-3)\\
