sc3: i can justify why a linear or exponential model is the best choice and use it to make predictions
if a quantity doubles every year, what type of model should be used to predict future values?
○ exponential
○ quadratic
○ linear
○ scatter only

Explanation:

For the first question: Exponential models describe growth/decay where values change by a constant multiplicative factor over intervals. A straight line and constant additive increase define linear models, while random values do not fit a predictive model.
For the second question: A quantity doubling yearly means it multiplies by a constant factor (2) each year, which is the defining characteristic of exponential growth.

Answer:

1. The data multiplies by a constant factor over time
2. exponential
