Which kind of function best models the data in the table? use differences or ratios.

y x
0 1.7
1 6.8
2 27.2
3 108.8
4 435.2

a. linear
b. quadratic
c. exponential
d. none of the above

Option C exponential.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the function best models the data in the table we will find the common ratio first. If the common ratios of the function are same then it's an exponential function.

For x = 0 and x = 1

For x = 1 and x = 2

For x = 2 and x = 3

Now we are sure that it's an exponential function.

For linear function common difference should be same in each term.

f(1) - f(0) = 6.8 - 1.7 = 5.1

f(2) - f(1) = 27.2 - 6.8 = 20.4

Therefore it's neither a linear function nor quadratic function.

Option C. is the correct option.

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%
