The number of branches of an oak tree and a birch tree since 1950 are represented by the following tables:

Determine whether the data described in the tables is best modeled by a linear function or an exponential function

Answer:

oak tree is a linear function and birch tree is exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

cuz i just did it

The oak tree have a liner function and the birch tree have exponential function .

Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line. A linear function has the following form. y = f(x) = a + bx. A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable. The independent variable is x and the dependent variable is y.

An exponential function is a mathematical function of the following form:

f ( x ) = [tex]a^{x}[/tex]. where x is a variable, and a is a constant called the base of the function. The most commonly encountered exponential-function base is the transcendental number e , which is equal to approximately 2.71828.

According to the question

The number of branches of an oak tree and a birch tree since 1950 are represented by the following tables:

Number of Oak trees (x)                       Number of branches  f(x)

0                                                                     34

3                                                                     46

6                                                                    59

9                                                                    70

12                                                                   82  

So in this table we can see that there is increment in number of branches but in a pattern approx.

i.e

f(x) = 34 + 4(x)

where x will be Number of Oak trees

therefore it is a Linear function

Number of Birch trees (x)                         Number of branches f(x)

0                                                                       8

10                                                                    33

20                                                                   128

30                                                                   512

40                                                                 2049  

So , in this table is increasing in a very fast pace but in a pattern approx.

i.e

f(x) = [tex]8*4^{\frac{x}{10} }[/tex]

Therefore it is an exponential function

Hence, The oak tree have a liner function and the birch tree have exponential function .
