Emma just signed the lease for her first apartment! She moves in 3 weeks from now, but she has decided to start packing today because she is so excited. Her goal is to pack 2 boxes every day until she is completely packed. You can use a function to describe the total number of boxes she packs in x days.
Is the function linear or exponential?

The function is linear.
Total boxes after x days: f(x) = 2x (with f(0) = 0).
Reason: she adds the same number of boxes each day (a constant rate of change, slope = 2). An exponential function would multiply by a constant factor each day, which doesn't happen here.
