Answer: It is not possible to determine whether Jennifer's claim is correct without additional information. The equation provided only describes the total balance in Jennifer's bank account as a function of the number of weeks, while the table provided only shows William's bank account balances after weekly deposits. The rate of change of each account depends on the amount deposited each week and the interest earned, which are not given in the information provided. Without this information, it is not possible to compare the rates of change of the two accounts.
