Chapter 4.3, Problem 5LC

To determine

Theerror in given rule of a table.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given table with rule is

    

  $y=x+1$

Error:

  $\begin{array}{l}y=x+1\\ x=0\Rightarrow y=0+1=1\\ x=1\Rightarrow y=1+1=2\\ x=2\Rightarrow y=2+1=3\\ x=3\Rightarrow y=3+1=4\\ x=4\Rightarrow y=4+1=5\end{array}$

The given rule is not representing the table of values.

Correct the error:

The correct rule is

  $y=x^2+1$

Hence, the error is described and corrected the rule for the given table.
