Answer: Exponential
Explanation:
Find the slope of each tier:
2.654 6.290 14.909 35.335
∨ ∨ ∨
3.636 8.619 20.426 ← not equal so not linear
∨ ∨
4.983 11.807 ← not equal so not quadratic
We have run out of slopes to compare so the options are either exponential or logarithmic.
Refer to the graph below that contains the given coordinates. Since there is no apparent asymptote, it appears to be exponential.
