Answer:
D. Linear
The answer is negative linear, because when it incresing from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 (year) it always deacreasing in the value($).
we know that
If 
is a factor of the function 
then
is a root of the function f(x)
therefore
For the value of the function must be zero
Verify
Substitute the value of in the function
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
Yes, is a factor of the function f(x)
