Answer: Choice A) No. All of the x values have a constant difference, but the y values do not have a constant ratio.
Explanation:
The x values increase by 1 each time. So the constant difference is 1. We can see this by subtracting adjacent values such as 4-3 = 1 or 5-4 = 1 and so on.
The y values do not have the same constant ratio. Divide each y term by its previous value
12/8 = 1.5
24/12 = 2 ... we can stop here but I'll keep going to list all the ratios
52/24 = 2.167 approximately
We get different results each time we divide the y values. So this shows we do not have an exponential function.
