*= my answer
Which function rule would help you find the values in the table
p 2, 4, 6, 8
q -14, -28, -42, -56
A. q = -7p
B. q = p - 7
C. q = - 14p
D. q = p - 14*
Hey oobleck, don't assume people didn't try because they got the answer wrong. Some people here actually need some help and if you're not going to give it, then leave.
To find the function rule that relates the values in the table, we need to examine the relationship between the values of p and q. We can do this by looking for a pattern or a consistent transformation applied to one variable to obtain the other.
In this case, it seems that the value in q is obtained by multiplying the value in p by -7 and then subtracting 14. Let's check if this applies to all the given values:
For p = 2, we have q = -7(2) - 14 = -28, which is correct.
For p = 4, we have q = -7(4) - 14 = -42, which is correct.
For p = 6, we have q = -7(6) - 14 = -56, which is correct.
For p = 8, we have q = -7(8) - 14 = -70, which is not given in the table.
It seems that the pattern holds true for the first three values, but not for the last value. Therefore, we can conclude that the function rule that helps us find the values in the table is:
D. q = p - 14*
Here, we do not multiply p by -7, so option A and C are incorrect. Option B does not subtract 14, so it is also incorrect. Option D is the only rule that matches all the given values in the table.
huh. does
-14 = 2-14?
-28 = 4-14? ...
better try some math, instead of guessing.
