So, when doing this kind of problems, the first thing that we would want to do is to add up (all) the numbers first, and by doing this, it would look like the following:
Then, we would then divide it by how many numbers they are.
Your answer: 7

Answer:
<em>The table shows an exponential function</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear vs Exponential Functions</u>
A linear function is written as:
where m and b are constants.
If a table contains a linear function, then for each pair of ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of m must be constant.
The slope can be calculated as:
An exponential function is written as:
Where r is the ratio and yo is a constant.
If a table contains an exponential function, for two ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of r must be constant.
The ratio can be calculated as:
Calculate the slope for (0,4) and (1,2):
Calculate the slope for (1,2) and (2,1):
Since the slope is not the same, the function is not linear.
Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (1,2)
The radical of index 1 is simply equal to its argument:
Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (2,1)
Testing other points we'll find the same ratio, thus the table is an exponential function
