Which of the following is UNLIKE the others with respect to the rate of change (common difference)?
Responses
f(x) = 6x − 2
f(x) = 6x − 2
f(x) = 6x − 2
2, 8, 12, 20, 26
2, 8, 12, 20, 26
2, 8, 12, 20, 26
an = −5 + 6(n − 1)
an = −5 + 6(n − 1)
The function "f(x) = 6x - 2" appears three times in the given options, so it is like the others in terms of the rate of change.
The sequence "2, 8, 12, 20, 26" has a common difference of 6 between each term.
The sequence "an = -5 + 6(n - 1)" also has a common difference of 6 between each term.
Therefore, the sequence "2, 8, 12, 20, 26" is unlike the others with respect to the rate of change (common difference).
