Advanced Math practice question
The function f is defined by f(x) = 3x² + 1. By how much does f(x) increase as x goes from 1 to 2?
Answer: 9
f(1) = 4 and f(2) = 13, so the increase is 9.
Common wrong answers
- If you answered 3
- 3 is the coefficient, not the increase.
- If you answered 4
- 4 is f(1) alone.
- If you answered 13
- 13 is f(2) alone.
