For problems 10–12, the recursive rule for a polynomial function is given in the form .

  • Use the recursive rule to fill in the first 5 values of the function in the table of values.

  • Identify the rate of change.

  • Classify the type of polynomial function as linear, quadratic, or cubic.

  • Use the differences in the table to check your answer.

For problems 13–16,

  • Find the rate of change for each table of values.

  • Write the recursive form of each function. If the rate of change is constant, write in the constant value. If the rate of change is a function, write the equation of the function that describes the rate of change.

  • Identify the type of function.
