The below table will show Q, the quantity of carbon-14 (in micrograms, μg) in a 200 μg sample remains after t thousand years: t thousand years Q (μg) 0 200 5 195 10 150 15 30 (a) Explain how you know that the data is not created from a linear function. Explain precisely (and provide numerical evidence) by referring to the way the amount of carbon-14 is decreasing according to the data. (b) Explain how you know that your data is not exponential. Explain precisely (and provide numerical evidence) by referring to the way the amount of carbon-14 is decreasing according to the data.

Question
The below table will show Q, the quantity of carbon-14 (in micrograms, μg) in a 200 μg sample remains after t thousand years:
| t thousand years | Q (μg) |
| 0 | 200 |
| 5 | 195 |
| 10 | 150 |
| 15 | 30 |
(a) Explain how you know that the data is not created from a linear function. Explain precisely (and provide numerical evidence) by referring to the way the amount of carbon-14 is decreasing according to the data.
(b) Explain how you know that your data is not exponential. Explain precisely (and provide numerical evidence) by referring to the way the amount of carbon-14 is decreasing according to the data.
