if I answer will you give me medal?

greatlife44 · Answer

I think what you need to do is to find the difference between each of the y values haven't done this in a while i'll give it a shot

i'm not really sure @Astrophysics can you help?

Each increase in x by 1, results in this difference in g(x) values
19   7   1   1   7  19  
again

12  6  0  6  12
again
6  6  6  6

danjs · Answer

a line will have a constant value change for g(x) the first time, this takes 3 times to get to a constant difference of 6 between successive terms.d

@danjS how does this pattern relate to whether a function is linear or quadratic?
