The mass of a sunfish and a giraffe, since birth, are represented by the following tables:
Giraffe
Time (months) Mass (kilograms)
000 636363
555 165165165
101010 264264264
151515 368368368
202020 468468468
Sunfish
Time (weeks) Mass (milligrams)
000 3.53.53, point, 5
555 19.319.319, point, 3
101010 106.5106.5106, point, 5
151515 587.5587.5587, point, 5

Determine whether the data described in the tables is best modeled by a linear function or an exponential function.

Linear function
Exponential function
Giraffe
Sunfish

Giraffe is linear. Sunfish is exponential.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of clarity the first matrix, for Giraffe.

In this Giraffe the angular coefficient is not exact, but quite close.

m varies from 102 to 99

Time (months) and Mass (Kg)

Geometrically, solving just plotting these two parameters as coordinate points.

(0, 63), (5,165), (10,264)...(20,468) We have a linear function.

2. Sunfish

Exponential functions are given according to y=ax^n  let's call n, by t. and find the other variables

An exponential function fits the best.

it’s b and curved, your welcome

Step-by-step explanation:

a=r

d=q

c=p

b=s

hope this !
