Question 1075886: Does the following situation represent a linear or exponential model? Write a function to model the situation.
Cooper has $75 in savings and is adding $15 each week.
How much will he have in 16 weeks?
Linear or Exponential?
After 16 weeks

Cooper contribution to his savings is constant, so the situation can be represented by a linear model. Thus:
Savings=75 + 15t...where t is the time in weeks. So, after 16 weeks we have:
S=75+15(16)=$315 total savings. ☺☺☺☺
