Question

PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE MEDAL!! :) Find a polynomial function f(n) such that f(1), f(2), ... , f(8) is the following sequence. see screenshot!!!

Answer 1

(1,2) (2,7) (3,12) (4,17)...(8,37)
Look like it might be a linear function with slope 5

Answer 2

ok. Show how to do it.

Answer 8

@Loser66

Answer 9

this function is linear

Answer 10

\[f(x)=mx+b\] find \(m\) and \(b\)

Answer 11

identical to

"find the equation of the line that includes the points \((1,2)\) and \((2,7)\)"

Answer 12

so f(n)=(1,2) (2,7)? What would the polynomial function be?

Answer 13

slope = 5
2=5(1)+b
b=-3
f(x)=5x-3

Answer 14

thanks so much!! i understand now :)
