Read the scenarios and explain how you know if it is

Question

1. a function or not,

2. how you know if it is linear or nonlinear,

3. and how you know if it is discrete or continuous.

A scientist measures the height of a sunflower every day and records it in a table. Their table shows the number of days gone by and the height of the sun flower in centimeters. She notices that it grows 3 centimeters per day.

Answer 1

it is a linear and continuous function

it grows in a linear matter height = ho +5(d) cm. two terms, ho and 5d, both have integer exponents of 0 and 1. 1 makes it linear, a line when graphed

for every day or part of a day there is a corresponding height, continuously. It doesn't do any jump spurts n size. no "holes" in the equation
