In similar triangles ratios of corresponding sides are constant, so

|AB|/|DE| = |BC|/|EF|

5/10 = 8/|EF|

|EF| = (8*10)/5 = 16

|EF| = 16

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function

mario62 [17]

Answer: B $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table

When x changes from 1 to 2 , value of y changes from 6 to 4

The multiplicative rate of change= $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

Similarly we can check

When x changes from 2 to 3 , value of y changes from 4 to $\frac{8}{3}$

The multiplicative rate of change= $\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{4}=\frac{2}{3}$

When x changes from 3 to 4 , value of y changes from $\frac{8}{3}$ to $\frac{16}{9}$

The multiplicative rate of change= $\frac{\frac{16}{9}}{\frac{8}{3}}=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, the multiplicative rate of exponential function = $\frac{2}{3}$

It takes an airplane 5/12 of a minute to fly 3/4 of a mile. What is the airplanes speed per minute?

Nikitich [7]

To make this a little easier, you would want to turn 3/4 into 9/12, to match 5/12's denominator.

You would then just add 7/1 to both fractions

(5/12+7/1=12/12 or 1 minutes)
(9/12+7/1=16/12=1 1/3)

So your answer would be 1.333... miles per minute

Hope this helps
