Each product is in the form ax2 + bx + c. (x + 3)2 = x2 + 6x + 9 (x + 4)2 = x2 + 8x + 16 (x + 5)2 = x2 + 10x + 25 (x + 6)2 = x2 + 12x + 36 which of the following describes the relationship between b and c? a: c is 1.5 times that of b. b: c is double b. c: c is the square of half of b. d: c is the square of b.

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.
