What's your question?

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

Amanda exercised for 10 min everyday in the first week, 20 min in the second week, 30 min in the third week and 40 in the forth week. Billy exercised for 5 min every day in the first week, 10 min in the in the second, 20 in in the third and 40 in the forth which statement best describes the methods used by Amanda and Billy to increase the time they spent exercising

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

now the answer choices A.Amanda's method is linear because the number of min increased by an equal num every week. B. billys method is linear because the number of min increased by an equal factor every week. C. both Billy and Amanda methods are exponential because the num of min increased by an equal factor every week D. both billy and Amanda methods are exponential because the number of min increased by an equal num every week

OpenStudy (retireed):

I would plot both exercise plans minutes verse weeks and see if the data plot in increases linearly or exponentially.

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

cause ik Amanda did hers by 10 and billy did it by 5s

OpenStudy (retireed):

Plot for many minutes each person worked out for each week |dw:1479846525793:dw|

OpenStudy (retireed):

Billy's time didn't increase by 5 minutes each week, it doubled each week.

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

yeah that's what I meant cause 5x2= 10 and 10x2=20 and 20x2=40

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

@retirEEd

OpenStudy (retireed):

For the last time, plot the minutes for each week in the graph I made and then see if data forms a line or is exponential.

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

nvm my mom came she told me she could help me but thanks

OpenStudy (retireed):

ok

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

hey mom doesn't know the answer but I need to go but I cant exit this page so an youu just give me the answer I'm sorry that I ask for answers but just once

OpenStudy (veronicachance):

plz @retirEEd

OpenStudy (retireed):

I'll say this Amanda increase linearly. Billy increases non-linearly. I attached a plot Amanda is orange and Billy is red so they are both different.... it can't be C or D What do you think now? A or B and don't guess you must answer why it is A or B.
