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
I believe this just uses the Pythagorean Theorem. A^2+B^2=C^2. So:
15^2+B^2=25^2. Simplified this is,
225+B^2=625
625-225=400
B^2=400
√ B=<span>√ 400
</span>B=20
1/3 and 5 because 3/1 is three and 1/3 is the opposite while 1/5 is 5/1 which is 5.
