Question

Ajay Analyzed two companies and has formulated tables to model each company growth, where x represents the age of the companies in years and y represents growth in terms of number of employees

Answer 1

If the number of employees is an indicator of a successful business, the company that Ajay should invest is company 1 because it is adding six employees each year while company 2 is multiplying its number of employees by six each year. You can also see form the table above that as the number of years increased, the number of employees also increases. Company 1 and 2 is directly proportional with the number of years and the number of employees.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Option D.

Explanation:

In the given question the number of employees is an indicator of a successful business.

Now we will analyze how the employees are being added in two companies.

Ajay will invest his money in the company which adds the employees more.

Company 1.

6 employees are being added so addition of employees are in the arithmetic progression.

Company 2.

There is a common ratio of 6 in each term of y which indicates the sequence formed is an exponential sequence.

And it's a fact that exponential growth is always greater than the linear growth.

Therefore, company 2 should be the choice of Ajay to invest his money.

Option D. is the answer.
