Given
Is the following Linear, Exponential, or Neither?
5,10,20,30,40,50
Solution
Linear and exponential relationships differ in the way the y-values change when the x-values increase by a constant amount:
1. In a linear relationship, the y-values have equal differences.
2.In an exponential relationship, the y-values have equal ratios
Since, there is no common or equal difference is not linear
And since there is no common or equal ratio is not exponential
Therefore, It is NEITHER
