A group of randomly selected members of Mothers Club were asked how many kids they have. The table below shows the results of the survey Based on the data what is the most reasonable estimate for the number of Mothers Club members who have fewer than 2 kids

-13

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x-5 for f(-4)

f(-4)   means let x=-4

f(-4) = 2(-4) -5

f(-4) =-8-5

      = -13

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
