Question

Tell whether the table of values represents a linear function, an exponential function, or a quadratic funtion

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if it is linear then it will be a straight line(gradient is the same)

if quadratic then curve(gradeint isnt the same)

y=mx+c

m=[y(2)-y(1)]/[x(2)-x(1)]

you can choose any 2 points from the table

m=2-0.4/0-1

m=-1.6

repeat but 2 different coordinates

m=0.4-0.08/-1--2==>-2.24

m=-2.24

different coordinate therefore quadratic

cant be exponential, because nothing is being raised to some power
