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.

The following table shows the final scores for a group of mini golf reset adventure Land find the median number of strokes
solong [7]
The median would be the middle data point. Let’s list the points

25, 26, 31, 39, 32, 57

Put them in order from least to greatest

25, 26, 31, 32, 39, 57

There is an even amount of data so take the two center points and divide by 2

31 + 32 = 63

Divide by 2

31.5

There would be an average of 31.5 strokes
