A) Exponential; a = 3
B) Exponential; a = 4
C) Exponential; a = 7
D) Not exponential

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function is not exponential because the output values do not change by a constant ratio as x increases. Instead, they increase by a constant difference (4), indicating a linear function.
