Table: x: 1, 3, 5, 7 and y: 0, 12, 32, 60
Which type of function best models the data in the table?
A. quadratic
B. linear
C. exponetial
D. cubic
Since the difference between consecutive y values is increasing by a constant amount, the data in the table is best modeled by a quadratic function. Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. quadratic
