I can’t view the pictures you attached. Please either type the four tables here (x and y values) or upload the images again.
Meanwhile, here’s how you can tell which table is exponential:
- An exponential function has the form y = a·b^x (a ≠ 0, b > 0, b ≠ 1).
- For equal steps in x (usually x increases by 1), the successive y-values have a constant ratio: y2/y1 = y3/y2 = ··· = b.
- So compute the ratios of each y to the previous y. If those ratios are the same (and none of the y-values are 0), the table represents an exponential function.
- If the differences y2 − y1 are constant instead, it’s linear, not exponential.
If you paste one of the tables here, I’ll compute the ratios and tell you which one is exponential.
