A teacher was interested in if using a child’s own name in a story affected their attention span while reading. Six children were randomly assigned to read a story under ordinary conditions (with names like scott and Jane). Six other children read versions of the same story, but with each child’s own name substituted into the story. The teacher kept a careful measure of how long it took each child to read the story. The reading times in minutes are shown below:

A. plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3 9 x -2 -1 0 1 2 g(x) -4 -2 0 2 4 b. which function could be described as exponential and which as linear? explain. c. if the functions continue with the same pattern, will the function values ever be equal? if so, give estimates for the value of x that will make the function values equals. if not, explain why the function values will never be equal.
