Use the table to determine the appropriate model of the function,

x 0 1 2 3 4
f(x) 3 7 29 87 199
a. linear
b. quadratic
c. cubic
d. exponential

Answer 1

The answer is D. An Exponential Function.

Explanation:

So the table is setup as;

x : 0 1 2 3 4

f(x): 3 7 29 87 199

If you plot the points on the coordinate plane, the value of x increases, and value of y increases .

It is not linear, because slope between two points is not the same, so you can rule that one out.

It´s not quadratic or cubic, because it is not intercepting the x axis.

So, it can only be D, an exponential function since we ruled out every other option.

I hope this helps :))
