Find the matching and determining Constants.
Answer to Problem 85E
The value of
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Match the data with one of the following functions and determine the value of the constant that will make the function fit the data in the table
Calculation:
Consider the given table.
Evaluate the given functions to satisfy the above data,
Consider
This function can be equal to
This function can be equal to
There is contradiction,
Hence the function cannot be matched with the data.
Now consider
This function can be equal to
This function can be equal to
Hence we get the required function.
The value of
Consider
This function can be equal to
This function can be equal to
This function cannot be matched with the data.
Now consider
This function can be equal to
This function can be equal to
This function cannot be matched with the data.
Now replace
Now substitute the calculated values in
Hence, the difference quotient is
