PLEASEE HELP TIMED
Kwame is given the graph below. Which of the following best describes the graph?
A a quadratic equation with differences of 1, then 2, then 4, ...
B an exponential function with a growth factor of 2
C a quadratic function with a constant difference of 2
D an exponential function with growth factors of 1, then 2, then 4, ...

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B) an exponential function with a growth factor of 2

Explanation:

An exponential function is one of the form f(x) = aˣ, where a is some constant.  Exponential graphs are smooth curves.

This graph is a smooth curve.  Looking at the points plotted, we have:

(0, 1); (1, 2); (2, 4); (3, 8)

The growth factor is the number we multiply each value by to find the next one.  From 1 to 2, we would multiply by 2; from 2 to 4, multiply by 2; from 4 to 8, multiply by 2.  This makes the growth factor 2.

Answer 2

It's B- An exponential function with a growth factor of 2
