Let's analyze the given data table to determine its nature.

Step 1: Calculate Common Differences

Common Differences:

From F(0) to F(1): 5 - 8 = -3

From F(1) to F(2): 4 - 5 = -1

From F(2) to F(3): 5 - 4 = 1

The common differences are: -3, -1, 1

These differences are not constant, so the data is not linear.

Step 2: Calculate Common Ratios

Common Ratios:

From F(0) to F(1):

From F(1) to F(2):
