Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! Here’s the table for this problem:
Function: y = 8x
Hour | Infected Computers
———| —————————-–
1 | 8
2 | 16
3 | 24
4 | 32
Part A:
f(x) = 5^x
f(x) = 5^0 = 0
f(x) = 5^1 = 5
Use this formula to solve: f(b) - f(a)/b - a
5 - 0 / 1 - 0 = 5/1 = 5
____________________
f(x) = 5^2 = 25
f(x) = 5^3 = 125
125 - 25 / 3 - 2 = 100/1 = 100
Average rate of change:
Section A: 5
Section B: 100
Part B:
Section B is 20 times greater then A
Why?
Because Section B is increasing in the equation. Thus, Section B is of greater value than Section A.
