In linear models there is a constant additve rate of change. For example, in the equation y = mx + b, m is the constanta additivie rate of change.
In exponential models there is a constant multiplicative rate of change.
The function of the graph seems of the exponential type, so we can expect a constant multiplicative exponential rate.
We can test that using several pair of points.
The multiplicative rate of change is calcualted in this way:
[f(a) / f(b) ] / (a - b)
Use the points given in the graph: (2, 12.5) , (1, 5) , (0, 2) , (-1, 0.8)
[12.5 / 5] / (2 - 1) = 2.5
[5 / 2] / (1 - 0) = 2.5
[2 / 0.8] / (0 - (-1) ) = 2.5
Then, do doubt, the answer is 2.5
250 lunches are produced by the small business in last week.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
It is given that,
- y ⇒ the average cost per week.
- x ⇒ the number of lunches produced per week.
The function relating these two factors x and y is given as y = 2.1x + 75
- The cost of the last week is y = $600.
- The lunches made last week is x = unknown.
<u>To find the value of x :</u>
Substitute y= 600 in the given function,
⇒ 600 = 2.1x + 75
⇒ 2.1x = 600 - 75
⇒ x = 525 / 2.1
⇒ x = 250
Therefore, the lunches prepared last week is 250.
If you add all of the numbers together the answer your going to get is 17+32+28 which equals 77
