Math Problem Statement

Linear, quadratic or exponential

Solution

Let's analyze the data provided in the table to determine whether the relationship between xx and yy is linear, quadratic, or exponential.

Data:

x & y \\ \hline -1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 4 \\ \end{array}$$ #### 1. Linear Relationship A linear relationship has the form $$y = mx + b$$, where $$m$$ is the slope and $$b$$ is the y-intercept. For a linear function, the change in $$y$$ for a unit change in $$x$$ should be constant. Let's check the differences between consecutive $$y$$ values: - From \(y(0) - y(-1) = 0 - 1 = -1\
