Observe the graph :
\Select the points from the graph and place them in a table.
\Table :
\![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
Find the difference between the -values and diffrence between
-values.
and
.
and
.
and
.
The difference between the –values is
, while the difference between the
–values is
.
Hence the equation is .
Check the solution by substituting -values in the function :
When ,
When ,
Therefore, the -values are not satisfied the equation.
Let us take some other values to find the equation :
\Make a table:
\![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
From the table is always
more than
.
Therefore, should be added
to get the pattern.
Hence the funcion is .
Check the solution by substituting -values in the function :
When ,
When ,
When ,
When ,
Therefore, the -values are satisfied the equation.
So, the function is .
The function is .
