A
first differences = 5,8,11, not constant; second differences = 3,3, constant; ratios = 7/2,15/7,26/15, not constant; family = quadratic; model = (3/2)x²+(7/2)x+2; evidence = constant second differences
B
first differences = 5,8,11, not constant; second differences = 3,3, constant; ratios = 7/2,15/7,26/15, not constant; family = exponential; model = y=2·3.5ˣ; evidence = first ratio is 3.5
C
first differences = 5,8,11, not constant; second differences = 3,3, constant; ratios = 7/2,15/7,26/15, not constant; family = neither; model = none; evidence = first differences are not constant
D
first differences = 5,8,11, not constant; second differences = 3,3, constant; ratios = 7/2,15/7,26/15, not constant; family = linear; model = y=5x+2; evidence = first difference is 5
