I don't see the table data. Could you paste the x and y values (or upload the table image)?
If you want to check it yourself, here are quick tests you can apply (assumes x increases by equal steps, usually 1):
- Linear: first differences (Δy = y2−y1, y3−y2, ...) are constant.
- Quadratic: first differences are not constant but second differences (Δ2y = Δ(y2−y1)) are constant. If Δx = 1, the quadratic leading coefficient a = (constant second difference)/2.
- Exponential: ratios y_{n+1}/y_n are constant (or approximately constant). If Δx ≠ 1, the base b = (y_{n+1}/y_n)^(1/Δx).
- Logarithmic: increases rapidly at first then levels off; first differences decrease as x increases. More formally, differences relative to x spacing shrink and a plot of y vs ln(x) looks roughly linear.
If you paste the table I’ll classify it and show the work.
