Question

What happens to the value of the expression b-1 as b increases

Answer 1

It increases

Explanation:

if b increases and the only other part of the equation is a constant it should increase as well. for example (the first value is b and the second is b-1) : (1,0) (2,1) (3,2) (4,3) (5,4)...

Answer 2

The value increases

Explanation:

Thinking process:

Let the expression be: b - 1

Let's say the value of b was 0, then the function will be: 0 - 1 = -1

Let the value of b be increased to 1, the expression will be 1 - 1 = 0

Let the value of b be increased to 2, the expression will be 2 - 1 = 1

Let the value of b be increased to 3, the expression will be 3 - 1 = 2

From the simulation, as the value of b increases, the net value becomes large.
