Question

What type of function is represented by the table, and for what reason?

A.
linear, because the X values increase at a constant rate

B. Linear, because the graph of the points makes a line

C.
exponential, because the Y values for success of Integer values of eggs have a common ratio of four

D.
exponential, because the Y values for successive Integer values of X have a common ratio of 16

Answer 1

D.

Explanation:

Based on the attached picture we can say that function representing these values would be exponential because the Y values for successive Integer values of X have a common ratio of 16. This can be proven by multiplying each one of the y values by 16, which would give us the next y value in the successive set. For example,

2.5 * 16 = 40

40 * 16 = 640

640 * 16 = 10,240

Meaning that the values have a common ratio of 16, and are increasing exponentially.
