Which statement best describes the methods used by Zach and Victoria to increase the time they spent reading a book? (1 point)

Answer 2

B) Victoria's method is linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every month.

Explanation:

Zach reading time written in sequence form is given as:

• Each succeeding term is a product of the previous term by 2

Victoria reading time written in sequence form is given as

• 35,50,65,80...

• Each succeeding term is an addition of 15 Minutes to the previous term.

The statement that best describes the methods used by Zach and Victoria to increase the time they spent reading a book is therefore:

B) Victoria's method is linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every month.
