The first option is correct and it best describes the constant difference for the function as a constant second difference of –6.
What is a function?
A function f(x) is the relation between a set of inputs resulting and producing the desired output value of y for each input.
From the given information:
x f(x) first difference second difference third difference
-2 0 - - -
-1 -10 (-10-0)/-1--2 = -10 - -
0 -12 (-12 - 10)/0 -- 1= -2 (-2-10)/2 = -6 -
1 -12 (-12--12)/1-0 = 0 (0-2)/2 = -1 (-1+6)/2 = 5/2
2 -16 (-16--12)/2-1 = -2 (-2-0)/2 = -1 (-1+1)/2 = 0
Therefore, we can conclude that the constant difference for the function is a constant second difference of –6.
