The table shows the the value of a stock that is increasing.

What's true about the table?

• The table is growing by equal factors over equal intervals therefore it is a linear function

• The table is growing by equal differences over equal intervals therefore it is an exponential function

• The table is growing by equal factors over equal intervals therefore it is an exponential function

• The table is growing by equal differences over equal intervals therefore it is a linear function

Which table is growing by a fixed percent rate?

• Table A because it is exponential

• Table A because it is linear

• Table B because it is exponential

• Table B because it is linear
