Question

Use technology to determine an appropriate model of the data. (0,0), (1,3), (2,4), (3,3), (4,0)

f(x) = – x2 + 4x
f(x) = x2 - 4x
f(x) = - x2 + 4x - 1
f(x) = x2 - 4x + 1

Answer 1

A.

Each of the ordered pairs satisfies the expression.

Answer 2

Option A.

Explanation:

To determine an appropriate model of the data each data should satisfy the expression.

For function 1. f(x) = -x² + 4x

Now for each point

f(0) = 0 , f(1) = 3, f(3) = 3 and f(4) = 0

therefore the given points lie on the function.

For option 2

f(0) = 0, f(1) = -3, f(2) = -4, f(3) = -3 and f(4) = 0

Therefore points do not lie on the function.

For Option 3.

f(0) = -1, f(1) = 2, f(2) = 3, f(3) = 2 and f(4) = -1

Therefore the points do not satisfy the expression.

For option 4.

f(0) = 1, f(1) = -2, f(2) = -3, f(3) = -2 and f(4) = 1

Therefore, the points do not satisfy the expression.

Option A. is the correct option.
