Answer:
<u>From ages 5 to 8</u>:
Pattern rule: Add 6 inches each year, since Fardad grows 6 inches each year.
Linear function:
<u>From ages 8 to 10, not including 8</u>:
Pattern rule: Add 11 inches each year, since Fardad grows 11 inches each year.
Linear function:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pattern rule seems subjective and I don't believe there is a technical mathematical term for it, but in terms of linear functions and patterns:
From ages 5 to 8: , where is Fardad's height after age
Pattern from ages 5 to 8: Fardad grows 6 inches each year (add 6 each year)
From ages 8 to 10, not including 8: , where is Fardad's height after age
Pattern from ages 8 to 10, not including 8: Fardad grows 11 inches each year (add 11 each year)
