Question

50 POINTS HELP ME!! The table below shows a set of points from the function y=x^2

x y
0 0
1 1
2 4
3 9
4 16
5 25

Find the rate of change between the points where x = 0 and x = 1; Compare this to the rate of change between the points where x = 0 and x = 4.
What does this tell you about the graph?

Answer 1

This tells you that the graph is making a pair of points all leading to a similar sum if you add them up. If you graph these on a graph, you will see a shape and a pattern of which is shared by all the points!
