Find the Function Rule table[[x,y],[2,9],[4,81],[6,729]]

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 2 & 9 \\ 4 & 81 \\ 6 & 729 \end{array}$

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 $y = a x + b$ .

$9 = a (2) + b 81 = a (4) + b 729 = a (6) + b$

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

Solve for $b$ in $9 = a (2) + b$ .

Rewrite the equation as $a (2) + b = 9$ .

$a (2) + b = 9$

$81 = a (4) + b$

$729 = a (6) + b$

Move $2$ to the left of $a$ .

$2 a + b = 9$

$81 = a (4) + b$

$729 = a (6) + b$

Subtract $2 a$ from both sides of the equation.

$b = 9 - 2 a$

$81 = a (4) + b$

$729 = a (6) + b$

$b = 9 - 2 a$

$81 = a (4) + b$

$729 = a (6) + b$

Replace all occurrences of $b$ with $9 - 2 a$ in each equation.

Replace all occurrences of $b$ in $81 = a (4) + b$ with $9 - 2 a$ .

$81 = a (4) + 9 - 2 a$

$b = 9 - 2 a$

$729 = a (6) + b$

Subtract $2 a$ from $6 a$ .

$729 = 4 a + 9$

$729 = 4 a + 9$

$81 = 2 a + 9$

$b = 9 - 2 a$

Solve for $a$ in $729 = 4 a + 9$ .

Rewrite the equation as $4 a + 9 = 729$ .

$4 a + 9 = 729$

$81 = 2 a + 9$

$b = 9 - 2 a$

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

Subtract $9$ from both sides of the equation.

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 $c$ in $9 = a \cdot 2^{2} + b (2) + c$ .

Rewrite the equation as $a \cdot 2^{2} + b (2) + c = 9$ .

$a \cdot 2^{2} + b (2) + c = 9$

$81 = a \cdot 4^{2} + b (4) + c$

$729 = a \cdot 6^{2} + b (6) + c$

$y = 72 \cdot 16 + (- 396) \cdot (4) + 513$

Multiply $72$ by $16$ .

$y = 1152 + (- 396) \cdot (4) + 513$

Multiply $- 396$ by $4$ .

$y = 1152 - 1584 + 513$

Simplify by adding and subtracting.

Subtract $1584$ from $1152$ .

$y = - 432 + 513$

Add $- 432$ and $513$ .

$y = 81$

If the table has a quadratic function rule, $y = y$ for the corresponding $x$ value, $x = 4$ . This check passes since $y = 81$ and $y = 81$ .

$81 = 81$

Calculate the value of $y$ such that $y = a x^{2} + b$ when $a = 72$ , $b = - 396$ , $c = 513$ , and $x = 6$ .

Subtract $2376$ from $2592$ .

$y = 216 + 513$

Add $216$ and $513$ .

$y = 729$

If the table has a quadratic function rule, $y = y$ for the corresponding $x$ value, $x = 6$ . This check passes since $y = 729$ and $y = 729$ .

$729 = 729$

Since $y = y$ for the corresponding $x$ values, the function is quadratic.

The function is quadratic

Step 3

Since all $y = y$ , the function is quadratic and follows the form $y = 72 x^{2} - 396 x + 513$ .

$y = 72 x^{2} - 396 x + 513$

Find the Function Rule table[[x,y],[2,9],[4,81],[6,729]]
