A lottery winner must choose between g(x) and h(x) for the distribution of winnings. Each month the distribution increases as shown in the tables. If the payout will last two years, which plan should the winner choose and why?

• The winner should choose g(x) because the table starts with thousands.

• The winner should choose h(x) because it will eventually yield more money.

• g(x) will eventually yield more money than h(x).

This table represents what kind of function?

• Linear because the y-values decrease at a constant rate

• Neither because there is no pattern in the y-values

• Quadratic because most y-values repeat and the 2nd difference is constant (the same)
