of the three functions in the tables, which represent linear relationships?
a. f and h
b. all three functions
c. f and g
d. g and h

A. f and h

Step-by-step explanation:

For a linear function the First Differences of the y-values must be a constant. i.e. if we take the difference between any two consecutive y values or values of f(x) it should be the constant. For this rule to work, x values must change by the same number every time, which is true for all three given functions.

For function f:

The values of f(x) are: 5,8,11,14

We can see the difference in consecutive two values is a constant i.e. 3, so the First Difference is the same. Hence, function f is a linear function.

For function g:

The values of g(x) are: 8,4,16,32

We can see the difference among two consecutive values is not a constant. Since the first differences are not the same, this function is not a linear.

For function h:

The values of h(x) are: 28, 64, 100, 136

We can see the difference among two consecutive values is a constant i.e. 36. Therefore, function h is a linear function.
