A botanist compares the height of a type of plant in two different growing areas. The results are shown in the table.

Select TWO true statements for Area 1 and Area 2

• Area 1 is exponential and Area 2 is linear

• Area 1 is linear and Area 2 is exponential

• Area 1 grows by a constant percent rate and Area 2 grows by a constant rate

• Area 1 grows by a constant rate and Area 2 grows by a constant percent rate

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
