Part A)
f(x) = 5^x
f(0) = 5^0
f(0) = 1
----------
f(x) = 5^x
f(1) = 5^1
f(1) = 5
----------
f(x) = 5^x
f(2) = 5^2
f(2) = 5*5
f(2) = 25
----------
f(x) = 5^x
f(3) = 5^3
f(3) = 5*5*5
f(3) = 125
-------------------
Rate of change for section A = (f(1) - f(0))/(1 - 0)
Rate of change for section A = (5 - 1)/(1 - 0)
Rate of change for section A = 4/1
Rate of change for section A = 4
Rate of change for section B = (f(3) - f(2))/(3 - 2)
Rate of change for section B = (125 - 25)/(3 - 2)
Rate of change for section B = 100/1
Rate of change for section B = 100
================================================
Part B)
From part A) above, we found,
Rate of change for section A = 4
Rate of change for section B = 100
Which means that section B's rate of change is 25 times greater (since 100/4 = 25, or 25*4 = 100)
Answer for part B: 25
================================================
Extra: Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other.
The rate of change for section B is larger because the exponential function is growing faster as x increases. This is shown visually by the sharper and steeper incline as the function curve goes upward. The function starts off with relatively slower growth but it accelerates in speed.
One variable is the amount of time it takes her to make a plate. The other variable is the amount of time it takes her to make a cup.
Answer:
t(2,-2),C(2,-5),z(5,-4),f(5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
because it reflects across the x-axis the y changes to the opposite.
Answer:
19/5
Step-by-step explanation:
A line that is parallel to a side and intersects the other two siddes divides the sides proportionally.
Set up the proportion
2/x+1 = x/x+6
Multiply means and extremes
2x+12= x^2+ x
