Answer:

(a) [tex]f(2) = 81[/tex]

(b) [tex]g(2) = 83[/tex]

(c) Test average for maths class after test 2 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = 0.5x + 80[/tex]

[tex]x \to g(x)[/tex]

[tex]1 \to 81[/tex]

[tex]2 \to 83[/tex]

[tex]3 \to 85[/tex]

Solving (a): f(2)

We have:

[tex]f(x) = 0.5x + 80[/tex]

[tex]f(2) = 0.5*2+80[/tex]

[tex]f(2) = 1 + 80[/tex]

[tex]f(2) = 81[/tex]

Solving (b): g(2)

From the table:

[tex]g(x) = 83[/tex] when [tex]x = 2[/tex]

So:

[tex]g(2) = 83[/tex]

Solving (c): Which is greater f(2) or g(2)

In (a) and (b),

[tex]f(2) = 81[/tex]

[tex]g(2) = 83[/tex]

Hence, test average for maths class is greater
