Jess plans to increase the amount of money she saves each month. She can increase her savings in the following ways: Table: http://prntscr.com/44a1d0 If Jess wants to increase her savings exponentially, which option(s) should she choose? Only option 1, because it shows equal increases in equal intervals of time Only option 2, because it shows equal increases in equal intervals of time Either option 1 or option 3, because they show increases in time by the same percentages Either option 2 or option 3, because they show increases in time by the same percentages

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Choose the option, where every ratio of the next to the previous is the same.

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Well option 2 is the only equation that is increasing by a number 2.2 the rest it varies by month

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

The first, where only 20's is okay too.

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Its talkng about the options not the months...

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

They all start as 20

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

then the fist equation increases by 2

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

the second increases by 2.2 and stays constant

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

and the third increases by 4

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

2.2 times 4 = how much the fourth equation inceases by the second time

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Omg, sorry. The right answer is 1 and 3, because in the first option every next is multiplied on 1.1 and in the third on 1.2. The second is not a geometric progression.
