Willis analyzed the following table to determine if the function it represents is linear or non-linear. First he found the differences in the y-values as 7 – 1 = 6, 17 – 7 = 10, and 31 – 17 = 14. Then he concluded that since the differences of 6, 10, and 14 are increasing by 4 each time, the function has a constant rate of change and is linear. What was Willis’s mistake?

David estimated he had about 20 fish in his pond. a year later, there were about 1.5 times as many fish. the year after that, the number of fish increased by a factor of 1.5 again. the number of fish is modeled by f(x)=20(1.5)^x. create a question you could ask that could be answered only by graphing or using a logarithm.
