Acar rental company rented out 9 cars in its first month. the number of cars it rented doubled each month.

what was the total number of cars the company rented out for the first 5 months?

9 cars=1 month.

18 cars= 2 months

36 cars= 3 months

72= 4 months

144= 5 months.

Add all cars which gives you a sum of 279 cars.

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

noncoplanar points are points that do not lie on the same line.
