    Function 1 is modeled by the equation:

    y = 40 + 3x

    where x is the number of days and y is the city's population or amount of people living in the city.

    This is a linear equation because all of the terms have exponent 1.

    Function 2 is a non-linear equation. Specifically, it is an example of an exponential equation because its variable x is found in the exponent.
