A small dairy farm writes a business plan. It includes a graph showing the estimated amount of feed used each day in thousands of pounds, y, compared to the number of years since the farm began operating, x.

What does the y-intercept represent?
the estimated amount of years the farm can afford feed
the maximum feed per day estimated for the life of the farm
the estimated amount of feed per day for the start of the farm
the maximum years the farm needs the originally estimated feed per day

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
