You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = 2x-5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x,,,,,,f(x),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Difference / Unit ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,rate
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1,,,,,,2(1)-5 = -3
\n" ); document.write( ".,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2/1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2
\n" ); document.write( "2,,,,,,,2(2) -5 = -1
\n" ); document.write( ".,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,4/2,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2
\n" ); document.write( "4,,,,,,,,2(4)-5 = 3
\n" ); document.write( ".,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,8/4,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2
\n" ); document.write( "8,,,,,,,,2(8)-5 = 11
\n" ); document.write( ".,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,16/8,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2
\n" ); document.write( "16,,,,,,2(16) -5 = 27
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Rate of change is 2 throughout
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Arithmetic form is a(n) = a(1) +(n-1) d
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "comparing to f(x) = 2x-5 has,,, a(0) = -5, d=2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
