Question

5. Which model is most appropriate for the data shown in the graph below?

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Exponential.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential is the best choice because the graph is increasing geometrically. This means that the parent function of the equation looks like this:

$f(x) = a(b)^{x}$

The shape of this equation will resemble an curve that has a horizontal asymptote that the graph will not intersect.

We can also narrow down each choice:

a) Quadratic. Incorrect because the graph pictured is not a parabola.

b) Linear. Incorrect because the rate of change is not constant, and the graph is not a straight line.

c) Most probable answer.

d) Incorrect.
