Understanding Linear and Exponential Functions

The video tutorial explains how to identify linear and exponential functions using tables. Linear functions show a pattern of repeated addition, while exponential functions show repeated multiplication. The tutorial demonstrates how to fill in missing values in tables and verify function types by plotting points on a graph. Linear functions form a straight line, whereas exponential functions form a curve.

What pattern indicates a linear function?
