Today we are going to look at data, and determine if the data represents a linear , quadratic, or exponential function.
If we have a graph of a function, it is easy to tell if it is linear, quadratic or exponential. Practice a few!

Sometimes, we have certain data points from real-life situations and they don't fit on a line or curve perfectly. We can look at the points and decide which type of function will "fit" best if we had to draw a line/curve through all of the points.

Sometimes, we are given data in a table, and we have to look for a pattern.
Linear-will have a COMMON DIFFERENCE-the same amount added or subtracted between terms
Exponential- will have a COMMON RATIO- multiply by the same amount to get the next term
Quadratic- will not have a comon difference or ratio. But you want to check the difference between the differences (referred to as the second difference). If this is the same, it will be quadratic.

Select linear, exponential, or quadratic for the table.
Also, if it is linear, select the difference, if it is exponential, select the ratio.

Select linear, exponential, or quadratic for the table.
Also, if it is linear, select the difference, if it is exponential, select the ratio.

Question 16
16.
Select linear, exponential, or quadratic for the table.
Also, if it is linear, select the difference, if it is exponential, select the ratio.
remember...to find the ratio, take the 2nd term, and divide it by the 1st term
