Answer 3

quadratic is nonlinear graph is a parabola -- launch a rocket

exponential is nonlinear exponential growth or decay -- compound interest

and if you put that in english, paragraph....

Answer 5

a quadratic has a squared term...causing the shape of a parabola, a U shape because
both positive and negative x's squared end up being the same number.
real world situation a quadratic could be used to track the height of a launched object.

a exponential has the variable in the exponent, causing the y to grow or decay increasingly quickly or increasing slowly
real world example: banks use interest, over months or years...each time the interest is applied, it is applied to a new and bigger total
