Math Problem Statement
A table representing the function f(x) = 2 is shown below.
What is true of the given function?
The function increases at a constant additive rate.
The function increases at a constant multiplicative rate.
The function has an initial value of 0.
As each x value increases by 1, the y values increase by 1.\
Solution
For the given function , let's analyze the options provided:
-
The function increases at a constant additive rate.
- False. The function is a constant function, meaning that the value of remains the same (2) for all values of . There is no increase or decrease.
-
The function increases at a constant multiplicative rate.
- False. Since the function is constant, there is no increase, multiplicative or otherwise.
-
The function has an initial value of 0.
- False. The function always takes the value 2 for any , so it does not have an initial value of 0.
-
As each value increases by 1, the values increase by 1.
- False. The values (which represent ) remain constant at 2 regardless of the changes in .
Conclusion:
None of the provided statements are true for the given function .
