suppose the only information you know about a function f is that the domain of f?
is the set of real numbers and that f
f(1)=1,f(2)=4,f(3)=9,f(4)=16what can you say about the value of ,f(5).
Hint the answer to this problem is not 25 the shortest correct answer is just one word
nothing.
Knowing 4 points does not say anything about where a 5th point might be.
The shortest correct answer is "unknown".
To determine the value of f(5), we can analyze the pattern exhibited by the given function values. Since f(1) = 1, f(2) = 4, f(3) = 9, and f(4) = 16, we can observe that the function f seems to be squaring the input value.
Therefore, based on this pattern, we can infer that f(5) would be equal to 25, as it is the result of squaring 5.
