In each table, x increases by 1. We start with x = 0 and stop with x = 3. So we will focus on the y columns of each table as those are different.

Let's move from left to right along the four tables.

For the first table, we go from y = 1 to y = 2. That's an increase of 1
Sticking with the first table, we go from y = 2 to y = 4. The increase is now 2
Since the increase is not the same, this means the table is not linear. The y increase must be constant. We can rule out choice A

Choice B can be ruled out as well. Why? Because...
the jump from y = 0 to y = 1 is +1
the jump from y = 1 to y = 3 is +2
The same problem comes up as it did with choice A

Choice C has the same problem, but the increase turns into a decrease half the time. We go from y = 0 to y = 1, then we go back to y = 0 so the "increase" is really a decrease. We can think of it as a negative increase. Regardless, this allows us to rule out choice C

Only choice D is the answer. Each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 2. Therefore the slope is 2/1 = 2

Answer:

$\sqrt[4]{x^5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction exponent converts into a radical. The denominator is the index of the radical (farthest left number) and the numerator is the exponent of the base inside (the farthest right number). The base of the fraction exponent is the base number in green. To write this expression, simply the exponents into one exponent and one base.

$x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{1}{2} } =x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{2}{4} } =x^{\frac{3+2}{4}} =x^{\frac{5}{4}}$
