Find the first four iterates of the function f(x) = (x - 5)2 with an initial value of x0 = 4.

a.

4; 19; 645; 12,645

c.

1; 19; 645; 12,645

b.

1; 16; 121; 13,456

d.

4; 16; 121; 13,456

select the best answer from the choices provided

a

b

c

d

  b.  1; 16; 121; 13,456

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable calculator or spreadsheet can compute these for you.

Put the value of x into the formula to find the first iterate. Repeat for successive iterates.

Comment on the answer choices

You can eliminate the first two answer choices because none of the numbers 19, 645, 12645 are perfect squares. You can eliminate the last answer choice because the first term listed is x0, not x1.

the answer is 0.3175 hope that you ^w^

also you might actually want to put this picture up if you want people to solve it luckily i remember this question

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
