Question

I NEED HELP NOW The population of a city is given for several years:

Year 2, 4, 10, 14, 16, 19
Population 316,000, 337,000, 370,000, 394,000, 409,000, 462,000
What type of equation would best model this data?
A. logarithmic
B. exponential
C. quadratic
D. linear

Answer 1

Answer: Logarithmic or Quadratic

Step-by-step explanation: It can't be linear since the population isn't increasing by adding or subtracting by the same number. It can't be exponential because it isn't increasing or decreasing by a specific multiple. I would choose either logarithmic or quadratic but i'm not sure.
