Question

Julia opened a new flower shop, and her daily sales are modeled by f(x) = 2(1.25)x. Determine the rate of growth.

Answer 1

Answer:

  D.  25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Each day, Julia's sales are 1.25 times the previous day's sales. That is, 25% more than the day before. Julia's sales are increasing 25% per day.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

The correct answer is D.25%

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

f(x) = 2 * (1.25)^x

This is in the form

y = a b^x

where b is 1 plus the growth rate

b = 1.25 = 1+growth rate

1.25 = 1 + growth rate

.25 = growth rate

25% = growth rate
