Math Problem Statement

For each function, determine if it is linear, quadratic, or exponential.

Solution

Let's analyze each function based on the table provided and determine if it is linear, quadratic, or exponential.

Función 1

  • xx values: 0,1,2,3,40, 1, 2, 3, 4
  • yy values: 5,1,7,13,19-5, 1, 7, 13, 19

The difference between consecutive yy-values:

  • 1(5)=61 - (-5) = 6
  • 71=67 - 1 = 6
  • 137=613 - 7 = 6
  • 1913=619 - 13 = 6

Since the difference is constant, Función 1 is linear.


Función 2

  • xx values: 1,2,3,4,51, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • yy values: 8,0,8,16,248, 0, -8, -16, -24

The difference between consecutive yy-values:

  • 08=80 - 8 = -8
  • 80=8-8 - 0 = -8
  • 16(8)=8-16 - (-8) = -8
  • 24(16)=8-24 - (-16) = -8

Since the difference is constant, Función 2 is linear.


Función 3

  • xx values: 1,2,3,4,51, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • yy values: 61,34,17,8,17-61, -34, -17, -8, -17

Let's calculate the differences between consecutive yy-values:

  • 34(61)=27-34 - (-61) = 27
  • 17(34)=17-17 - (-34) = 17
  • 8(17)=9-8 - (-17) = 9
  • 17(8)=9-17 - (-8) = -9

Since the differences between yy-values are not constant, it is neither linear nor quadratic. It appears Función 3 does not follow a recognizable pattern from the choices given.


Summary of the functions:

  1. Función 1: Linear
  2. Función 2: Linear
  3. Función 3: None of the given options

Tip:

When analyzing functions from a table, look for constant differences for linear functions, and constant second differences for quadratic functions. Exponential functions grow by a constant factor.
