Algebra-1

Let's analyze the given data table to determine if it is linear, exponential, or quadratic.

Step 1: Calculate Common Differences

Common Differences:

From F(-2) to F(-1): 2 - 11 = -9

From F(-1) to F(0): -1 - 2 = -3

From F(0) to F(1): 2 - (-1) = 3

From F(1) to F(2): 11 - 2 = 9

The common differences are: -9, -3, 3, 9. These are not constant, so it is not linear.

Step 2: Calculate Common Ratios

Common Ratios:

From F(-2) to F(-1):

From F(-1) to F(0):
