$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0.5 & - 0.75 \\ 1 & 0 \\ 1.5 & 0.5 \end{array}$

Step 1

Check if the function rule is linear.

To find if the table follows a function rule, check to see if the values follow the linear form $y = a x + b$ .

$y = a x + b$

Build a set of equations from the table such that $y = a x + b$ .

$- 0.75 = a (0.5) + b 0 = a (1) + b 0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

Calculate the values of $a$ and $b$ .

Solve for $a$ in $0 = a + b$ .

Rewrite the equation as $a + b = 0$ .

$a + b = 0$

$- 0.75 = a (0.5) + b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

Subtract $b$ from both sides of the equation.

$a = - b$

$- 0.75 = a (0.5) + b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

$a = - b$

$- 0.75 = a (0.5) + b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

Replace all occurrences of $a$ with $- b$ in each equation.

Replace all occurrences of $a$ in $- 0.75 = a (0.5) + b$ with $- b$ .

$- 0.75 = (- b) (0.5) + b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $(- b) (0.5) + b$ .

Multiply $0.5$ by $- 1$ .

$- 0.75 = - 0.5 b + b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

Add $- 0.5 b$ and $b$ .

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = a (1.5) + b$

Replace all occurrences of $a$ in $0.5 = a (1.5) + b$ with $- b$ .

$0.5 = (- b) (1.5) + b$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $(- b) (1.5) + b$ .

Multiply $1.5$ by $- 1$ .

$0.5 = - 1.5 b + b$

$a = - b$

Add $- 1.5 b$ and $b$ .

$0.5 = - 0.5 b$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = - 0.5 b$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = - 0.5 b$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$0.5 = - 0.5 b$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

Solve for $b$ in $0.5 = - 0.5 b$ .

Rewrite the equation as $- 0.5 b = 0.5$ .

$- 0.5 b = 0.5$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

Divide each term in $- 0.5 b = 0.5$ by $- 0.5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 0.5 b = 0.5$ by $- 0.5$ .

$\frac{- 0.5 b}{- 0.5} = \frac{0.5}{- 0.5}$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 0.5$ .

$\frac{- 0.5 b}{- 0.5} = \frac{0.5}{- 0.5}$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

Divide $b$ by $1$ .

$b = \frac{0.5}{- 0.5}$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$b = \frac{0.5}{- 0.5}$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$b = \frac{0.5}{- 0.5}$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

$a = - b$

$a = - b$

$b = - 1$

$- 0.75 = 0.5 b$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $0.5$ by $- 1$ .

$- 0.75 = - 0.5$

$b = - 1$

$a = - b$

$- 0.75 = - 0.5$

$b = - 1$

$a = - b$

Replace all occurrences of $b$ in $a = - b$ with $- 1$ .

$a = - (- 1)$

$- 0.75 = - 0.5$

$b = - 1$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$a = 1$

$- 0.75 = - 0.5$

$b = - 1$

$a = 1$

$- 0.75 = - 0.5$

$b = - 1$

$a = 1$

$- 0.75 = - 0.5$

$b = - 1$

Since $- 0.75 = - 0.5$ is not true, there is no solution.

No solution

Since $y \neq y$ for the corresponding $x$ values, the function is not linear.

The function is not linear

Step 2

Check if the function rule is quadratic.

To find if the table follows a function rule, check whether the function rule could follow the form $y = a x^{2} + b x + c$ .

$y = a x^{2} + b x + c$

Build a set of $3$ equations from the table such that $y = a x^{2} + b x + c$ .

Calculate the values of $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ .

Solve for $a$ in $0 = a + b + c$ .

Rewrite the equation as $a + b + c = 0$ .

$a + b + c = 0$

$- 0.75 = a \cdot {0.5}^{2} + b (0.5) + c$

$0.5 = a \cdot {1.5}^{2} + b (1.5) + c$

Move all terms not containing $a$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $b$ from both sides of the equation.

$a + c = - b$

$- 0.75 = a \cdot {0.5}^{2} + b (0.5) + c$

$0.5 = a \cdot {1.5}^{2} + b (1.5) + c$

Subtract $c$ from both sides of the equation.

$a = - b - c$

$- 0.75 = a \cdot {0.5}^{2} + b (0.5) + c$

$0.5 = a \cdot {1.5}^{2} + b (1.5) + c$

Calculate the value of $y$ using each $x$ value in the table and compare this value to the given $y$ value in the table.

Calculate the value of $y$ such that $y = a x^{2} + b$ when $a = - 0.5$ , $b = 2.25$ , $c = - 1.75$ , and $x = 0.5$ .

Simplify each term.

$y = 1 - 1.75$

Subtract $1.75$ from $1$ .

$y = - 0.75$

If the table has a quadratic function rule, $y = y$ for the corresponding $x$ value, $x = 0.5$ . This check does not pass, since $y = - 0.75$ and $y = - 0.75$ . The function rule can\'t be quadratic.

$- 0.75 \neq - 0.75$

Since $y \neq y$ for the corresponding $x$ values, the function is not quadratic.

The function is not quadratic

Step 3

There are no values of $a$ , $b$ , or $c$ in the equations $y = a x + b$ or $y = a x^{2} + b x + c$ that work for every pair of $x$ and $y$ .

The table does not have a function rule that is linear or quadratic.
