The mass of a sunfish and a giraffe, since birth, are represented by the following tables:

Determine whether the data described in the tables is best modeled by a linear function or an exponential function.

Linear function
Exponential function
Giraffe
Sunfish

Giraffe is linear. Sunfish is exponential.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of clarity the first matrix, for Giraffe.

In this Giraffe the angular coefficient is not exact, but quite close.

m varies from 102 to 99

Time (months) and Mass (Kg)

Geometrically, solving just plotting these two parameters as coordinate points.

(0, 63), (5,165), (10,264)...(20,468) We have a linear function.

2. Sunfish

Exponential functions are given according to y=ax^n  let's call n, by t. and find the other variables

An exponential function fits the best.

it’s b and curved, your welcome

step-by-step explanation:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
