exponential
square root
linear
quadratic

Explanation:

Analyze the plotted points

The plotted points form a symmetric, U-shaped curve opening upwards.

Compare with function types

A U-shaped curve is characteristic of a parabola.

Identify the matching model

Parabolic shapes are modeled by quadratic functions.

Answer:

• exponential
• square root
• linear
• quadratic (Correct answer)
