Question 3 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 Sem 1 - Flex

Dwight creates a table of values for a function and plots the points. He finds that one y value divided by the next y value produces the same answer each time. What kind of function did he graph?

Answer
A
linear
B
quadratic
C
square root
D
exponential

Explanation

If dividing each y value by the next y value gives the same ratio each time, the function has a constant multiplicative change. That pattern is characteristic of an exponential function. A linear function instead has a constant difference between consecutive y values.
