Solve the function
Answer to Problem 41PFA
Option B
Quadratic
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
To recognize if a function is linear, quadratic (a parabola), or exponential without an equation or graph, look at the differences of the y-values between successive integral x-values.
If the difference is constant, the graph is linear.
If the difference is not constant but the second set of differences are constant, the graph is quadratic.
If the differences follow a pattern similar to the y-values, the graph is exponential.
So,
Option B (Quadratic Function)
Because it have constant second difference i.e. 2.
So, it is a Quadratic Function.
