Answer:
From ages 5 to 8:
Pattern rule: Add 6 inches each year, since Fardad grows 6 inches each year.
Linear function:
[tex]y=6x+78[/tex]
From ages 8 to 10, not including 8:
Pattern rule: Add 11 inches each year, since Fardad grows 11 inches each year.
Linear function:
[tex]y=11x+38[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Pattern rule seems subjective and I don't believe there is a technical mathematical term for it, but in terms of linear functions and patterns:
From ages 5 to 8: [tex]y=6x+78[/tex], where [tex]y[/tex] is Fardad's height after age [tex]x[/tex]
Pattern from ages 5 to 8: Fardad grows 6 inches each year (add 6 each year)
From ages 8 to 10, not including 8: [tex]y=11x+38[/tex], where [tex]y[/tex] is Fardad's height after age [tex]x[/tex]
Pattern from ages 8 to 10, not including 8: Fardad grows 11 inches each year (add 11 each year)
