Run the differences-and-ratios test on each data set before naming a family.
- 1.Data: x=0,1,2,3 with y=4,8,16,32. Identify the family and write an equation.
- 2.Data: x=0,1,2,3,4 with y=1,4,9,16,25. Identify the family.
- 3.A radioactive sample halves every 8 years. Which function family models this, and what is the base?
- 4.Explain how you would distinguish a rational function's graph from an exponential function's graph, just by looking at the picture.
- 5.A data set has constant second differences but is not exactly a perfect-square pattern. Is it still quadratic? Explain.
