Given the sequence 12, 9, 6, 3, where x = 0, 1, 2,

what is the function rule?

f(x) = −3

f(x) = −3x + 12

f(x) = 12

f(x) = 3x + 15

f(x) = -3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart could be represented like this:

x             y

0            12

1             9

2            6

3            3

Suppose that f(x) = y

And substitute x values.

y = -3x + 12

"x = 0"

y = -3(0) + 12

y = 0 + 12

y = 12

"x = 3"

y = -3(3) + 12

y = -9 + 12

y = 3

From the results, it corresponds to the function.

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
