Please help!! Thank you

Consider the sequence below. 3 , 1 , 1/3 , 1/9 , select the explicit function which defines the sequence.

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.

Suppose that the function f is defined. , for all real numbers, as follows. _ \ 1/4x² -4 if x≠ -2 f(x)=< /_-1 if x=-2 find f(-5), f(-2), and f(4)
