Depends on whether you wish for it to change/alter or be constant + 1b + 1b for day 2 or 1b + 1. Each work. The exponential function is better for small numbers that start with totals. It can also be a function to multiply days to work and count faster for Sally.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient "a" is. called the initial value of the function (or the y-intercept), and "f (x) " represent the dependent variable (or output of the function)

With this in mind there are 4 value inputs to create each daily change.

a = y kyles x2 value) (f) x = Kyles money and for Sally b1 and b.

Therefore for Sally staying $1 a day we can use the constant a=y and match this to b) where b = 1 + y=1 and a^2 = 2 (you could also use y^2). This way y can mean $0.50 when y^2 is used incorrectly for Sally when it should be used for Kyle. Within all calculation. if b=1 then it is used for matching day 2,3,4,5 etc as we would have day 2 $2 = 1b + b then 2b + b etc.
