Pablo generates the function f(x) = three-halves (five-halves) Superscript x minus 1 to determine the xth number in a sequence.

Which is an equivalent representation?

f(x + 1) = Five-halvesf(x)

f(x) = Five-halvesf(x + 1)

f(x + 1) = Three-halvesf(x)

f(x) = Three-halvesf(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (3/2)(5/2)^(x-1)

Where 3/2 = three-halves and 5/2 = (five-halves)

To determine an equivalent representation, let's assign values to x to see the outcome and compare it with the options.

f(x) = (3/2)(5/2)^(x-1)

For x = 1

f(x) = (3/2)(5/2)^(1-1) = (3/2)(5/2)^(0)

f(x) =(3/2)(1) = 3/2

For x = 2

f(x) = (3/2)(5/2)^(2-1) = (3/2)(5/2)^(1)

f(x) =(3/2)(5/2)

So from the above assigned values

f(x=1) = 3/2

f(x=2) = f(x + 1) = f(1 + 1)

f(x + 1) = (3/2)(5/2)

Since f(x) = 3/2

f(x+1) = (3/2)(5/2) = f(x) × 5/2 = 5/2f(x)

From the options, an equivalent representation: f(x + 1) = Five-halves f(x)
