Based on the table of values you created in part a, does a linear or an exponential function best model the number of trees in the forest over this four-year period? justify your answer by checking for equal differences over equal intervals (for a linear function) or equal factors over equal intervals (for an exponential function).

46 dollars is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

6*6 = 36,         36+10=46

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
