The function f(x)=125(0.9)x models the population of a species of fly in millions after x years.
1 answer:
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
********************
f(11) = 125(.9)¹¹
= 39.2
f(15) = 125(.9)¹⁵
= 25.7
********************
The rate of change from years 1 to 5 is approximately 3 times the rate of change from years 11 to 15.

Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well lets graph the following equation first,
H(x) = -.011(x - 82)^2 + 75
Then lets graph all the other equations.
Look at the image below↓
So A.
The purple line does not go farther or higher,
so A. is incorrect
B.
The black line goes higher and farther,
meaning it is correct.
C.
The red line goes farther but not higher.
So it is incorrect
D.
Again the blue line does not go farther of higher.
So its wrong.
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>answer choice B. </em> <em>is correct.</em>
