The table represents a bicycle rental cost in dollars as a function of time in hours.

Question illustration
A
This function represents a direct variation because it passes through the origin and has a constant rate of change of $5 per hour.
B
This function represents a direct variation because it has a positive, constant rate of change of $10 per hour.
C
This function does not represent a direct variation because it does not represent the cost for 1 hour.
D
This function does not represent a direct variation because the function rule for the cost is to add $10, not multiply by a constant.

The pattern of numbers below is an arithmetic sequence:14, 24, 34, 44, 54, ...Which statement describes the recursive function used to generate the sequence?

A
The common difference is 1, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 1 where f(1) = 14.
B
The common difference is 4, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4 where f(1) = 10.
C
The common difference is 10, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 10 where f(1) = 14.
D
The common difference is 14, so the function is f(n + 1) = f(n) + 14 where f(1) = 10.
