Question

A certain type of corn grows at the rate of 3 inches per week. is this example linear or exponential? answer

Answer 1

Suppose the corn size is 10 inches now. SO, according to the problem it grows 3 inches per week. Hence corn will be

10+3=13 in the next week.

13+3=6 in the second week

16+3=19 in the third week and so on.

So, the changes in the plant size is always equal.

Hence, it's an example of linear function.
