Please look at the following numbers listed above and determine a relationship:
Are they exponential or linear? Why?

  neither exponential nor linear

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship will show a common difference between adjacent value. Here, the first differences between the first three values are 5 and 33. They are not the same, so the relation is not linear.

__

An exponential relationship will show first differences that are continuously increasing or decreasing by increasing or decreasing amounts (respectively).

As we showed, the difference between May 28 and May 27 is 33. This is more than the previous difference. However, the difference between May 30 and May 31 is only 28, which is less than a previous difference.

The relation is not exponential.

__

A graph points up the non-linearity of the relation.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
