Graph the data in the table. which kind of function best model the data? write an equation to model the dataa. linear; y = 2xb. quadratic; y = 2x^2c. exponential; y = 2 · 2^xd. exponential; y = 4 · 2^x

Looking at the possible answers, the only one that fits is D.

Let's first look at A: y = 2x
We know this doesn't work, since if you plug in 0 for x, y = 0, not 4.

Let's look at B: 2x^2
We know this doesn't work either, since if x is 0, y = 0, not 4.

Let's look at C: 2 × 2^x
We know this doesn't work, since if x = 0, y = 2:

This leaves D: 4 × 2^x:

It also works for (1,8) and (2,16):



The answer is D.
