1. The data is not linear. There's not a constant difference between the f(x) values. (AKA there's not a fixed slope between the data points)
2. The data is exponential, because there's a consistent ratio in the f(x) values:
189/567 = 1/3
63/189 = 1/3
21/63 = 1/3
7/21 = 1/3
Each new y-value (aka f(x)-value) is 1/3 the previous value.
Also, f(0)=567.
If we put that together, we have f(x) = 567 (1/3)^x.

<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.
Given that:
h(t) = 2t² - 5t + 29
The minimum height is at h'(t) = 0, hence:
h'(t) = 4t - 5
4t - 5 = 0
t = 5/4
h(5/4) = 2(5/4)² - 5(5/4) + 29 = 25.875 feet
