These tables of values represent continuous functions. In which table do the values represent an exponential function?

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, an exponential function is a function that has common ratio whereas it is called a linear function if it has common difference.

Option A:

Since the values of y in the given table have different ratio but common difference, therefore it is not a a linear and not an exponential function. Option A is is not correct.

Option B:

Since the values of y in the given table have different ratio but common difference, therefore it is not a a linear and not an exponential function. Option B is not correct.

In option C.

Since the given values of y in the table have a common ratio, it is said to be an exponential function.

Option C is correct.

In option D.

Since the values of y in the given table have different ratio but common difference, therefore it is not a a linear and not an exponential function. Option D is incorrect.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
