Question

(a) Although neither a linear nor an exponential function would model this data perfectly, justify why an

exponential function would be a much better fit. Specifically, explain both why a linear function would not

be a good fit while an exponential would be reasonable.?

Answer 1

hello the table related to this question is missing attached below is the missing table

answer : An exponential function is much better fit because there is no fixed rate in the table

Explanation:

An exponential function is much better fit because there is no fixed rate in the table attached but the values in the table keeps increasing exponentially, hence an Exponential function will be a better fit, But a linear function would be preferred only if there is a fixed rate
