We can write the function in terms of y rather than h(x)
so that:
y = 3 (5)^x
A. The rate of change is simply calculated as:
r = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1) where r stands for rate
Section A:
rA = [3 (5)^1 – 3 (5)^0] / (1 – 0)
rA = 12
Section B:
rB = [3 (5)^3 – 3 (5)^2] / (3 – 2)
rB = 300
B. We take the ratio of rB / rA:
rB/rA = 300 / 12
rB/rA = 25
So we see that the rate of change of section B is 25
times greater than A
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 3x + 2 = - 7 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- 3x = - 9 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 3
Answer:
I get 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduce the fraction:
3 ( 3 + 4 ) - 4
Add the numbers:
3 x 7 - 4
Multiply the numbers:
21 - 4
Subtract the numbers:
17
To start, we're given the range that x lies in: from -1 to 4. We know from the fact that

that -1 will be <em /><em>included</em> in that range, so we mark -1 on the number line with a solid circle. We also know from

that, while x can be any value <em>up to</em> 4, it does not <em>include </em>4. We indicate this by drawing a hollow circle around 4 on the number line. Since x can be <em>any value within this range</em>, we make that fact clear by drawing a bold line between the points -1 and 4 on the number line. I've attached an image of what our final graph would look like.
