Answer:
x=1 is the correct answer
Answer:
Option 3
The rate of change is -5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : An exponential function for compounding interest, 
To find : What is the rate of change?
Solution :
The general form of an exponential function is:

Where, a is the initial amount,
(1+r) is the rate of change,
r is the growth or decay factor
We have given, 
Rate of change is



Convert to percent,

Therefore, Option 3 is correct.
Graph 1 is related to table C because the first 3 values are increasing, and the 4th value decreases. Or because at 1PM, 3PM, and 5PM, the temperature was increasing, but at 7PM the temperature decreased. Graph 1 shows the first 3 points increasing, and then decreasing at the 4th point.
Graph 2 is related to table A because as the time increases/goes on, the temperature decreases exponentially/continues to decrease at a higher rate than before. From 1-3PM the temperate decreases by 2°F, from 3-5PM it decreased by 8°F, from 5-7PM the temperature decreased by 17°F.
Graph 3 is related to table B because as the time increases/goes on, the temperature decreases at a steady rate of 1°F every 2 hours.
