Is this linear, exponential, or neither?

Exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

So let’s start off by looking at how much x is growing by each time

X is growing by 8 each time

Next look at how much y is growing by

-6 to -24 is a difference of 18

-24 to -96 is a difference of 72

And lastly -96 to -384 is a difference of 288

So we can now say that it is not linear because a linear equation grows by a constant number (like adding)

To determine if it is exponential see if it is growing by a constant multiplier

24 divided by 6 is 4

96 divided by 24 is 4

384 divided by 96 is 4

It is exponentially growing by 4

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
