Answer: (B) 3 times as fast

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

rate of change is the "slope" between the given interval.

f(x) = 125(.9)ˣ

f(1) = 125(.9)¹

    = 112.5

f(5) = 125(.9)⁵

     = 73.8

\dfrac{f(5) - f(1)}{5 - 1} = \dfrac{73.8-112.5}{5-1} = -\dfrac{38.7}{4} = -9.675

********************

f(11) = 125(.9)¹¹

       = 39.2

f(15) = 125(.9)¹⁵

       = 25.7

\dfrac{f(15) - f(11)}{15 - 11} = \dfrac{39.2-25.7}{15-11} = -\dfrac{13.5}{4} = -3.375

********************

The rate of change from years 1 to 5 is approximately 3 times the rate of change from years 11 to 15.

Sara has 24 sweets
Tresset [83]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The expression for the number of sweets that Sara and Tim have now, are:

Sara=(17-x)Sweets\\\\Tim=\frac{(24+x)Sweets}{2}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To write the expressions for the number of sweets that Sara and Tim have now, we need to follow the next steps:

Sara starts with 24 sweets and Tim starts with 24 sweets

Sara=24 Sweets\\Tim=24 Sweets

Then, Sara gives Tim x Sweets

Sara=(24-x)Sweets\\Tim=(24+x)Sweets

Then. Sara eats 7 of her Sweets

Sara=(24-x-7) Sweets\\Sara=(17-x )Sweets\\Tim=(24+x) Sweets

Then, Tim eats half of his sweets

Sara=(17-x)Sweets\\\\Tim=\frac{(24+x)Sweets}{2}

So, the expression for the number of sweets that Sara and Tim have now, are:

Sara=(17-x) Sweets\\\\Tim=\frac{(24+x)Sweets}{2}

Have a nice day!
