This table represents the city of huntstown's population in thousands over a 5 year span. the data be modeled using an exponential function. what function best represents the data? a) y = 1.02x

b) y = 118 ⋅ 0.98x

c) y = 118 + 1.02x

d) y = 115.6 ⋅ 0.98x

ans c) y = 118 + 1.02x

Step-by-step explanation:

this table represents the city of huntstown's population in thousands over a 5 year span. the data be modeled using an exponential function. what function best represents the data?

a) y = 1.02x

b) y = 118 ⋅ 0.98x

c) y = 118 + 1.02x

d) y = 115.6 ⋅ 0.98x

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
