Answer 1

The data for the control group has a first common difference, therefore the data is being generated by a linear function

The data for the original group has a second common difference, therefore the data is being generated by a quadratic function

The data for the Improved group has a common ratio, therefore the data is being generated by an exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table in the attached image.

The data for the control group has a common difference, that is the difference between consecutive values are the same.

`d=13-6=20-13=27-20=34-27=41-34=7`

Since the values have a common difference then it is a linear function.

The original formula has a second common difference, therefore the data is being generated by a quadratic function.

The improved formula has a common ratio;

`r=(18)/(9)=(36)/(18)=(72)/(36)=(144)/(72)=(288)/(144)=2`

Therefore, the data is being generated by an exponential function.
