To synthesize information regarding when books were written, alex should create a
a. timeline
c. venn diagram
b. chart
d. none of these

The answer is (a) Timeline.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Alex wants to synthesise information regarding when the books were written.

The option are to create a timeline, a Venn-diagram or a chart.

Out of these, I think the best option is to create a timeline, where Alex can easily display the list of books along with the time in a particular order , so that it will be easy for others to read and understand.

Venn-diagrams and Charts will not serve Alex's purpose here.

Thus, the correct option is (a) Timeline.

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
