Question

How do I know how which function family is represented in a sequence. I know how to do this pretty well on a graph though (8th grade algebra)

Answer 1

Given the table between (x) and (y)

We will graph the points to know the function family

we will graph the following points:

(-1, -3), (0, -1) (1, 1) (2, 3). (3, 5)

the graph will be as follow:

As shown, the points represent a line

so, the answer will be linear
