Fang and Meng have a large rose garden. When the roses first bloomed, they initially picked 4 fresh roses. Each day thereafter, as more roses bloomed, they quadrupled the number of roses they picked. Let R be the number of roses picked on day t. Which of the following best explains the relationship between t and R? The relationship is exponential because the values of R always increase as the values of t increase.The relationship is exponential because R increases by a factor of 4 each time t increases by 1.
