Since there are no patterns for the rate of change of the function, it is quadratic.
What is the average rate of change of a function?
The average rate of change of a function is given by the change in the output of the function divided by the change in the input.
When this rate is constant, the function is said to be linear, while if the rate increases in a proportional way, the function is exponential.
In this problem, no patterns of linearity or of exponentiality can be established, hence the function is quadratic.
