Equivalent rates can be used to compare different sets of quantities that have the same value. A rate that compares a quantity to one is called a unit rate. The unit rate has a denominator equal to one when written as a fraction. Unit rates can be used to find larger equivalent rates.

The function f(x) = 15(2)^x represents the growth of a frog population every year in a remote swamp. Elizabeth wants to manipula

Half one is 1/2;
half three is 3/2;
Thus, if f(x) represents annual growth, f(x)/2 shows it every half-year, like this:
$\dfrac{f(x)}{2} = \dfrac{15\cdot 2^x}{2} \\ \\ 
\dfrac{f(x)}{2} = \dfrac{15}{2}\cdot 2^x$

Written in plain text: f(x)=15/2*2^x
