Suzie lives in Riverbank and her fiancé. Jeff lives in a neighboring Turlock. They both like small-town life and want to raise their family in a small-town. Suzie pulled up the following data about the population of Riverbank and Turlock. 

a) Using the data, find the BEST equations to model each town's growth (Linear or Exponential) and WRITE THE BEST EQUATION only for each town below: 

Riverbank: R(x) = 

Turlock: T(x) = 

b) Based on the information above, and the two equations you found for the two cities, advise Suzie and Jeff which town they should go with if they are planning to make the decision this year. Base your advice on a Mathematical Prediction you made based on the two models.
