alex is tracking how many computers he can fix in an afternoon. he listed the number of computers fixed per hour in the following table:
hour (x) number of customers f(x)
1 4
2 8
3 12
determine if these data represent a linear function or an exponential function, and give the common difference or ratio.
this is an exponential function because there is a common ratio of 4.
this is a linear function because there is a common difference of 4.
this is a linear function because there is a common difference of 8.
this is an exponential function because there is a common ratio of 8.

This is a linear function because there is a common difference of 4

⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- In the linear function there is a common difference between each two

  consecutive data

- In the exponential function there is a common ratio between each two

  consecutive data

- Lats check the data in the data in the table

 (x)  ===  1 ⇒ 2 ⇒ 3

 f(x) === 4 ⇒ 8 ⇒ 12

∵ x has consecutive numbers 1 , 2 , 3

∵ 8 - 4 = 4

∵ 12 - 8 = 4

∴ f(x) has a common difference 4

∵ 8 ÷ 4 = 2

∵ 12 ÷ 8 = 1.5

∴ f(x) has no common ratio

∴  The table represents a linear function with common difference 4

This is a linear function because there is a common difference of 4

mariah is studying the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. she must choose one stage in the cycle to present in science class: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, or adult. she plans to make her choice randomly using a custom spinner divided into four sections. first, however, she spins the spinner 50 times to see the frequencies it generates.

stage times landed on

egg 10

caterpillar 12

chrysalis 15

adult 13
