Question

36 students sign up for Modern Dance but 3 have dropped each week. Is this linear or exponential? Select the equation.

Answer 1

The relation is linear as 3 students are lost and this quantity is constant (per week).

As it is a loss, then the equation would be:

`f(x)=36-3x`

...where x is the time in weeks and f (x) the rest of the students.
