Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. The function f is given by the table of values as shown below.

x12345
f(x)13193791253
Use the given table to complete the statements.

The parent function of the function represented in the table is
.

If function f was translated down 4 units, the
-values would be
.

A point in the table for the transformed function would be
.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) First differences of the f(x) values in the table are ...

  19 -13 = 6, 37 -19 = 18, 91 -37 = 54, 253 -91 = 162

The second differences are not constant:

  18 -6 = 12, 54 -18 = 36, 162 -54 = 108

But, we notice that both the first and second differences have a common ratio. This is characteristic of an exponential function. The common ratio is 18/6 = 3, so the parent function is 3^x.

b) Translating a function down 4 units subtracts 4 from each y-value. The values of f(x) in the table would be ...

  9, 15, 33, 87, 249

__

c) The x-values of the function stay the same for a vertical translation, so the points in the table of the transformed function are ...

  (x, f(x)) = (1, 9), (2, 15), (3, 33), (4, 87), (5, 249)

the 3rd option is right
