------------------|---------------------
Day Cans Collected
------------------|---------------------
1 15
------------------|---------------------
2 | 20
----------------------------------------
3 | 25
----------------------------------------
4 | 30
----------------------------------------
5 | 35
----------------------------------------
6 | 40

The number of cans collected is increasing: a.) linearly b.) quadratically c.) exponentially

Respuesta :

MrEquation
The cans are increasing at a linear rate.

If you look at the number of cans collected, you will see that they are increasing by 5 each time. Since the rate of change is the same each day, it is a linear pattern.

Answer:

Hence, the number of cans collected is increasing linearly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table that represent the collection is given by:

Day Cans         Collected

------------------|---------------------

   1                            15

------------------|---------------------

    2                          20

----------------------------------------

    3                          25

----------------------------------------

    4                          30

----------------------------------------

    5                          35

----------------------------------------

    6                          40

The number of cans is increasing by a constant term that is five each day.

It could be modeled by the function:

f(t+1)=f(t)+5

where t represent the number of days.

the initial amount i.e. f(1)=15 cans.

Hence, the number of cans collected is increasing linearly.
