You can tell she is most likely using an exponential equation because the equation she is using, f(x) = ax, is a linear equation that represents exponential growth. In this type of equation, the variable x represents time or another increasing quantity, and the variable a represents the growth rate.

Answer 4

ok, so your positive that is the right answer?
