Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So problem 1 is actually pretty easy, once you know how to do it. So it gives you 3 different functions in 3 different forms and says pick the one with the steepest slope, right?
Okay, so for the f(x)= -5/3 (3)^x problem, just plug in values for x. I would suggest making a t chart like function 2. So plug in the following numbers and compute:
x=0 f(x)= ?
x=1 f(x)= ?
x=2 f(x)= ?
x=3 f(x)= ?
x=4 f(x)= ?
x=5 f(x)= ?
Then, for function 3, write down the values for y when x is the numbers listed above. Or, you can simply calculate slope.
For the charts, you now have 5 sets of ordered pairs which you can calculate the slope with...
In function 1, it should be -5/3, but let me know what you get cause I'm just guessing on that one. Make sure to calculate the slope on all 3 functions!!
So in problem 2, you need to find out how to write out a function given the info- I don't feel like typing all that out, so what I would suggest is looking up how to write functions in you tube and watch a few videos.
Hope this helps, make sure to go to bed soon.
