Determine whether a linear, quadratic, or exponential function best models the situation. Murphy measures the air temperature over a 24-hour period. Starting at 4 a.m., he sees that the temperature rises to a high in the early afternoon, before it begins dropping over the rest of the day. Question content area bottom Part 1 An exponential A linear A quadratic function best models the situation because the temperature grows by a constant percent each for each unit of time. decreases and then increases. has a constant rate of change for each unit of time. increases and then decreases
