Reese has a greenhouse and is growing daisies. The table shows the average number of sunflowers that bloomed over a period of four months:

Month 1 2 3 4

Daisies 10 13.1 16.2 19.3

Did the number of daisies increase linearly or exponentially?

A. Linearly, because the table shows a constant percentage increase in daisies each month

B. Exponentially, because the table shows that the daisies increased by the same amount each month

C. Linearly, because the table shows that the daisies increased by the same amount each month

D. Exponentially, because the table shows a constant percentage increase in daisies each month

C. Linearly, because the table shows that the daisies increased by the same amount each month

Step-by-step explanation:

AS you can see the difference between the different months you can see that the amount of daisies is increasing little by little but by the same amount, when that happens it is impossible that that is exponential nor by percentage, so as you can see it increases 3.1 every month so with each month the amount of daisies increases that amount, so the number of daisies increased linearly.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets define Linear and Exponential:

Linear: Increases by the same amount

Exponential: Increases by a constant percent

A and B are incorrect.

The number of daisies increased by 3.1 every month. Therefor, the growth is Linear.
