Juan recently entered into a contract for a cell phone plan. The table shows the monthly cost in dollars, f(x), if Juan sends x text messages.

What type of function is represented?

linear
quadratic
logarithmic
exponential

A linear function is represented

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is:

x   f(x)

0   10.00

1    10.02

2   10.04

3   10.06

4   10.08

5   10.10

If we compute the difference between two consecutive function values and we divide it by the difference between their associated x values we get:

(10.02 - 10.00)/(1-0) = 0.02

(10.04 - 10.02)/(2-1) = 0.02

(10.06 - 10.04)/(3-2) = 0.02

(10.08 - 10.06)/(4-3) = 0.02

(10.10 - 10.08)/(5-4) = 0.02

This constant result indicates that a linear function is represented.

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.
