Answer:

This is exponential growth

Explanation:

The amount by which the function is increasing from point to point is increasing, so it must be a quadratic or exponential function. If it was a quadratic, the amount it increases by would be increasing by a steady amount. (Ex. x^2 increases by how much it increased the last time + 2). But because this is not what the data shows, the function must be exponential.

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.
