option 1 is not linear because it does not change by the same amount every year. It does not have a constant slope.
option 2 increases by 100 per year, constant slope, straight line, linear
-----------------------
a = A y^n
1100 =A y
1210 = Ay^2
1331 = A y^3
---------------
1210/1100 = y = 1.1
check 1331/1210 = y = 1.1 sure enough
1100 = A (1.1)
A = 1000
so
a = 1000 * 1.1^n
and the linear option 2
a = 1000+100n
You can put the numbers in for part C
10% compounded is better than 10% simple :)
Answer:0+&N*=98n
Step-by-step explanation:
It's kinda like a parabola, but it isn't. it like
ax^2+bx+c
What's the shape? you need more information
