Question #faf22
1 Answer
The given function is linear, and it can also be expressed as
Explanation:
The given function is linear because the starting value is being added and the common difference is being multiplied.
There are two functions; linear and exponential. A linear function is one that has a common difference (which means it is being added or subtracted), and on a graph it will be a straight line.
An exponential function, however, is one that has a common ratio (which means it is being multiplied), and on a graph it will be a curved line.
The function notation for a linear equation is
while the exponential equation would be
In this problem, the starting value,
It is technically already in the form
