Autumn wants to invest $1000. The table below shows the value of her investment under two different options for three different years: Number of years 1 2 3
Option 1 (amount in dollars) 1100 1200 1300
Option 2 (amount in dollars) 1100 1210 1331
Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of the investment after a fixed number of years using option 1 and option 2? Explain your reasoning. (4 points)

Part B: Autumn wants to invest in an option that would help to increase her investment value by the greatest amount in 7 years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of Autumn's investment after 7 years if she uses option 2 over option 1? Explain your answer, and show the investment value after 7 years for each option if the equation for option 1 is f(x)=100x + 1000 and the equation for option 2 is g(d) = 1000(1.1)d
