Jordan uses a linear equation to model the data in a table. which reasoning might jordan have used in the decision to model the data with a linear equation?
the products of corresponding x- and y-values are equal.
the ratios of consecutive y-values are equal for evenly spaced x-values.
the change in y-values is not constant, but the change is constant for evenly spaced x-values.
the change in y-values is constant for evenly spaced x-values.

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1

its (2) option

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
