Question

These tables of values represent continuous functions. In which table do the values represent an exponential function?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, an exponential function is a function that has common ratio whereas it is called a linear function if it has common difference.

Option A:

Since the values of y in the given table have different ratio but common difference, therefore it is not a a linear and not an exponential function. Option A is is not correct.

Option B:

Since the values of y in the given table have different ratio but common difference, therefore it is not a a linear and not an exponential function. Option B is not correct.

In option C.

Since the given values of y in the table have a common ratio, it is said to be an exponential function.

Option C is correct.

In option D.

Since the values of y in the given table have different ratio but common difference, therefore it is not a a linear and not an exponential function. Option D is incorrect.
