Which type of function is represented by the table of values below?xy14216364425651,024

The y-values are 4, 16, 64, 256, and 1,024. Each value is 4 times the previous one, so the outputs have a constant multiplicative factor as x increases by 1. That pattern represents an exponential function, not a linear function, which would have a constant difference between outputs.
