Answer: exponential function

Explanation:

Graph it.

You will see that the ordered pairs make the shape of a sideways "S."

Linear functions are straight lines and quadratic functions are "U" or upside-down "U" shaped curves. Exponential functions can have multiple curves like including a sideways "S" shape, so it is exponential.
